So why isn't chimp worried about energy,and making a grand tour of the states talking about alternative sources and conservation?
In fact, I don't believe that they even have a non secret written plan

chimp is a dangerous criminal.

3. That should work out.
We can just use retired people to pull carts through the street.
It will give the retiree some cash to buy soup and give those rich enough to pay for the service, transportation.

9. * 's buddies make money if the price of oil goes up. *'s rich buddies save
money if retirees get less from SS and they make money if the retirees put some of their retirment money into the stock market. Simple as ABC.

4. Because He Has Already Found A Way To Profit On Peak Oil
Social Security Private Accounts Will Enable Him To Profit As Well. Kickbacks from the Securities Industry.

10. one word --- DISTRACTION
on two levels...first of all the soc sec crisis is the trojan horse for higher taxes and second Peak Oil would be scary to most if not planned well (like the US has not for the past two decades)
