BLAME THE GOVERNMENT FOR OUR WOES
Putin deserves the blame for war, but government central planners
deserve the blame for our economic and national security
vulnerabilities.

Every major problem we are facing today is not because of war, but
because of the arrogance, ignorance, and incompetence of government
central planners and their cronies.
The elites pushing their agendas and their cronies’ pet projects,
whether through short-sightedness or nefarious intentions, have
delivered an obvious negative outcome for America.
Our economic woes started long before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
And while Putin deserves the blame for war, our government central
planners get the full credit for our economic and national security
vulnerabilities.
The highest inflation in the last 40 years was recorded before eastern
Europe even entered the conversation. This came on the back of central
planning decisions, while those central planners feigned ignorance as
to the outcome. The Federal Reserve printing trillions of dollars and
the trillions more of government “relief spending,” increased
further with Biden’s “American Rescue Plan,” were enough to
drive substantial inflation. Add to that the decisions that turned off
large swaths of the economy over the past couple of years and
structurally kept workers out of the labor force, which also disrupted
the supply chains and labor markets to increase the inflationary
pressures.
Then, include the Biden administration’s suspending oil and gas
leases, withdrawing the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, and the
crony corporate kowtowing to the elite push for ESG reducing oil- and
gas-related investment; these actions all impacted rising gas prices
before Putin’s madness came into play.
Once Russia invaded Ukraine, these existing vulnerabilities became
bigger weaknesses, something that should have been obvious to the
average American, let alone those in government “leadership”
positions.
Not expanding the United States' capacity as a producer of oil and gas
resources was both a farce and an obvious national security issue. It
didn’t decrease the demand for those resources (although the
pandemic reactions did temporarily); what it did was shift some
percent of the production from the U.S., which has the technology,
capabilities, and incentives to produce more cleanly, to nations run
by terrorists, tyrants, human rights abusers, and other generally bad
people. These regimes and countries share the same planet, yet do not
produce as cleanly as the U.S. could.
That’s quite a “green” strategy — both from an economic
“green” and an environmental “green” standpoint.
These decisions have reverberations globally, creating vulnerabilities
for our allies in Europe, who also reduced their own nuclear and oil
and gas energy production, exposing them to geopolitical strife.
So, while we could have been fortifying U.S. production so that one or
more foreign bad actors wouldn’t be able to leverage that against
us, our government and corporate cronies couldn’t see (or didn’t
care) what was flashing in front of them like a giant neon sign and
ultimately did nothing on that front.
These actions will only worsen the already fragile U.S. economic
situation caused by their other policy decisions.
The average American ends up paying the price, both figuratively and
quite literally.
It’s not just oil and gas. The past two years exposed the weakness
of depending on China for key inputs and products. The Russian
invasion is highlighting other dependencies, ranging from nickel
(which is a key component in the batteries used to make electric
vehicles, among many other things), aluminum, wheat, fertilizers, and
many other products that are key to a smooth functioning economy and
everyday living, and some that could even lead to bigger crises, like
food shortages in parts of the world.
Instead of strengthening America, both for economic security and
national security, the central planning government leaders have been
actively making us more vulnerable, taking policy direction from
people who range from activist-sponsored teenagers to global entities
that would be thrilled with the destruction of the American economy
and way of life.
There will always be some bad actor around the corner, and we must be
prepared. It’s far past the time to reverse these bad government
policy actions and focus on a stronger America and better strategic
decision-making.
If we don’t hold government accountable and enact change, then we
will only have ourselves to blame.
