Yes i'm serious. Either we get used to high energy costs now or pay for
it later in a continuing series of energy cost spikes followed by
recessions.

Well that is completely false and not very much on point. But I never
suggested confiscating anybody's wealth. I'm suggesting we pay our
bills. Babbling about reducing spending and not paying the bills is what
got us into this mess. We can't all continue to pretend we are Ronald
Reagon forever - talk about reducing spending while spend spend spend
more than anybody else ever has. Nothing is going to change as long as
we are doing nothing but talk about reducing spending and then not
paying the bills. If we start actually taxing as much as we spend and
pay the piper there might be some hope for change.

Yeah except you will be happy when the next bum who doesn't pay the
bills comes along as long as that one spouts whatever BS you prefer.

A rather presumptuous assumption. You are of course wrong.
