The Cost of Bleeding Hearts

I often wonder how much healthier our economy would be if the bleeding hearts and the earth worshippers hadn’t been busy gutting America with their damn welfare programs as well as all of the barriers that they have erected that impede developing our oil, coal, and nuclear resources.

I don’t have the numbers that would demonstrate how much cheaper energy would be if the fools hadn’t been  permitted to strangle us with environmental regulations and development bans, but a commenter at LGF offers a brief synopsis that clearly demonstrates that illegal aliens cost the US far more treasure than the war in Iraq.

Not as if that would faze the nattering, chattering Kumbyah brigades. “Progressives” like Obama and Hillary would love nothing more than to see America transformed into one of the third world countries that they so admire. Unfortunately, R.I.N.O. McCain’s heart bleeds on this issue along with his buddies on the left.
