Stupid Politicians

Have you ever heard of the “Jones Act?” Probably not, and probably you WILL not hear about it from the liberal media, this law prevents us from using foreign technology contained on foreign ships. The Jones Act requires that “all goods transported by water between U. S. ports be carried in U. S. flag ships, constructed in the United States, owned by U. S. citizens and U. S. permanent residents.” This law was passed to “protect” American shipping interests and could be waived in an emergency by the president. It has been waived in the past. All Obama has to do is officially “waive” it and we could take advantage of proven new technology that is being used in foreign countries. But as this is written, he has not. What’s WRONG with this man? Is he STUPID, or just obtuse? Or does he just not care, despite his protestations and expressions of anger? (Wikipedia)
