Here are those good paying jobs the lefties are always squalking for......unfortunately, it's in the energy business.....no workers need to be on public assistance, no workers on food stamps, produces cheaper energy which helps the average family....all good.

Oh....no wars needed for domestic fuel!

"Surging oil and natural gas production bought on by hydraulic fracturing is lifting the U.S. economy by lowering energy costs for consumers and manufacturers, according an industry-funded report.
In 2012, the energy boom supported 2.1 million jobs, added almost $75 billion in federal and state revenues, contributed $283 billion to the gross domestic product and lifted household income by more than $1,200, according to the report released today from IHS CERA. The competitive advantage for U.S. manufacturers from lower fuel prices will raise industrial production by 3.5 percent by the end of the decade, said the report from CERA, which provides business advice for energy companies."

No downside to fracking, exactly what we need cheap energy so we can waste more fuel. Who cares about energy efficiency.

These are the good paying jobs people have been looking for. You don't have to have an expensive degree either.

Drilling will be done somewhere to provide oil/gas for America. So might as well drill here and boost jobs and keep the money at home rather than buying Mid-East oil and sending our money over there.
