Your entry was about the costly war, growing unemployment, oil dependency and new technology. There are many American's out there thinking the same thing. It seems our federal international policies have been the framers of our current problems. Yes, unemployment continues to grow, billions of dollars a month are leaking out of our country and into the accounts of foreign corporations contracted to support our troops in theater, and our oil dependency threatens our national security. It seems most of the problems we are faceing in America are in some way related to this subject. Discovering an alternative method, new technology, or even useing our own resources is definately the solution. We need to bring our money back to the states and spend it here. If we were spending half as much on our own projects as we are in Iraq we could have a vigorous team of scientists exhausting the possibilities of an alternative to oil. We can stop the deficit from increasing, pay it off, and focus on the home front - education, senior citizens, our infrastructure, a medical program, and much more. The over all increase in the standard of living would come naturally by our interest in ourselves. We can cut the cost of war and stop the out sourceing to redirect the profits to us. That would increase consumer consumption, then production, then speculation, and then prosperity. FIRST THINGS FIRST STOP THE WAR MACHINE!
