The truth that this about politics and appearances is in the "rule or ruin" approach of leftists. it is not about what really works, or Maxine Waters, dumber than a post, nor Steny Hoyer nor anyone else would be saying we stop doing A as fast as possible because B will be working sometime, but we don't know when. That is a suicide pact.
What can you cite to me that qualifies Maxie Waters or any Democrat (or Republican) to run a refinery?
There is absolutely no proof that government can do a better job than capitalist industry. The Soviet Union, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, China...the list goes on.
The list of dead also goes on well past Nazi Germany when government "owns" all "the means of production". When that occurs, you either are useful to the state or dead. Do you want Maxie Waters setting your work rules, deciding which companies survive or don't? I have seen alot of the woman. A good socialist and panderer, she is useless otherwise. And she is very intent on expanding government authority as far as she can get it done. This expansion is to her advantage, since she can then sell more favors to the highest bidder.
If politicians could not enact narrow law that benefits a particular industry or interest group, do you think the industry or group would pay attention to them? Think about it. If you have nothing to sell, nobody cares or will pay you. You want to take the money out of politics? Then reduce the reach of polticians. The less they control, the fewer will come to find benefit from manipulating that control. This is so simple it evades most minds, IMO.
Maybe it is like the picture of the pious anti-death penalty judge with portraits of Che and Obama on his wall in the background. Che was Castro's preferred summary executioner, killing more people in three years (maybe less) than have been executed in the US in the last 10. The irony would be hilarious if it weren't so sick.
As to what Obama plans when he ascends, I just dunno. But I think "hope" is not going to be the right theme.
The point of this digression is to highlight that leftists say A and do B (and they are not the only ones, either). Marx's dictum, that "the people are the revolution or they are nothing", is the best summary of what happens to common people who get in the way of the revolution, or leftist steps toward that goal.
I think the political class we have established in this country is incompetent, with notable exceptions, on both sides of the aisle. I would like to toss the lot of them (with previously state exceptions) into the sea and start over.
I will stand for election as King, and serve 4 years only.
