Ludicrous Politics

Recently, Liberals in Congress said we shouldn't be drilling for domestic oil because there won't be any payoff for 10 years.
Huh?
By that line of reasoning, we should abandon the education system in America because there won't be any payoff for 13 years.
Maybe I should stop putting money into my 401k because I don't plan on retiring for 10 years.
Just how STUPID do they think we are?
Obviously stupid enough, as we keep voting for Liberals in every election.
