Did anyone watch the USHR hearings today on OIL . . . ???

If you did, can you give us a little recap --- ???

I'm trying to watch now on C-span repeat --

McNerney/DCA --- was just commenting on how this is doing such great harm to citizens, towns,
communities ---

We have a thing going in our town --- you probably have it too -- with stores closing and
no one moves in -- or corporate company takes over ---

Not the same ---

But, as I drove around thru my town and three or four other towns near me, I've been shocked
at the number of empty stores. Walgreen closed a big store near us. And lots of space remains
unrented over year and more.

HOWEVER, the reason I brought this up is because Obama was talking about providing some help for
new businesses . . . small businesses . . . and it didn't make immediate sense to me but I do
think that starting a business is very difficult now???


PS: Later . . . Permutter and Ellison did a back and forth on OIL . . .
I heard no mention of NATIONALIZING THE OIL INDUSTRY . . . NOR ELECTRIC CARS . . .
but I only saw a few minutes of it ---



Anyway, a lot of stuff is happening at the town level that is also very worrisome ---
