SAVING AMERICA

SAVING AMERICA

Here we are, as I said before, the banking crisis in full bloom, the Americans losing their homes, inflation rising, the president as always not willing to tell the truth.

Is there a way out, probably not, but the damage to the country can still be mitigated, we could settle for a disaster instead of an out right massacre, if we care to learn the truth and face the consequences.

Here are two first steps that can be taken already without much pain and widespread discomfort, the first being that we stop the ethanol insanity. Effective immediately we need to stop all subsidies to the ethanol industry form crop subsidies to the fuel credits and tax breaks. If we did not know this before we now know that it has hurt the consumers with increased prices of everything and not caused the petroleum consumption to go down. Cost of fuel and food has gone up directly as the consequence of our foolish adventure in to alcoholism of ethanol. Lets just say NO!

The budget is on the rocks, the government is broke, this is not the time for tax cuts, allowing the Bush tax break for the rich to expire will help with the reduction in the federal deficit and allow the dollar to find some footing. Reduction in the federal deficit will help support the dollar and reduce the price of oil.

Allow the interest rates to rise some, support the dollar, and the foreigners will become interested in INVESTING in America again, not BUYING the America on the cheap. But then again you the reader could also be a politician or a media person sold on snuffing out the freedom of the Untied States and sold on to the North American Union
