Handing out money left and right will cure nothing, especially borrowed money.We need to look at our issues in the long term.The high cost of gas this past year did serious damage to our economy and society, yet Freddie and Fannie continue to get all the blame.The trickle down effect made everything cost more from increased production and shipping costs.Now that gas is back down the cost of everything else has not followed. After a brief reprieve OPEC is vowing to cut production until they get their 80-100. per barrel again. We need to invest in America becoming energy independent.Create cheap clean energy, green jobs, reduce our dependence on foreign oil.We should never allow others to have that much control over our economy. We are at their mercy and they have none. It would cost the equivalent of 60 cents per gallon to charge and drive an elec car. There is enough potential wind energy in the state of ND alone to power every car, truck and SUV in America if they had elec powertrains. WE have so much available, solar, wind, hybrid and plug in technologies. Invest in these, make them affordable to the average joe. Wake up America. I just read a great book called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence Now by Jeff Wilson. There is no one single factor in our society that has such a huge impact on our economy than the cost of fuel. Wouldn’t that be a good place to begin to dig ourselves out of this mess we are in?
