There is no doubt that the economy will go into a depression. I now believe that we are in a recession but it is only a matter of time before the omens of the 1930s return to haunt us. It will be slow and painful, unemployment could go up by as much as 15 or 20 per cent. There will be millions without homes and rioting in the street, resulting in total social breakdown. I have heard a lot from people that there won't be a depression but they can't prove to me that this is the case. With so many of our huge companies going under - and who would have thought GM merging with Chrystler, that I can only say we must be heading for unknown territory.
I agree, pretty much.
Ending the war. UNDOING the damage we've done to people's lives by violating both the Geneva Conventions and our own Constitution.
My third is Kyoto Treaty and other actions to reduce the efffects of global warming--and restore environmental protections that Bush has eroded.
That narrowly edges out health care reform to me. And developing alternative sources of energy would be more important for me than energy independence. I'm not an advocate of drilling off the coast, popular though that's become lately. Let's do more with solar and wind instead.
What about ILLEGAL ALIENS? We spend BILLIONS in CA alone to educate and provide health care to people who don't belong here. We need to use this money on our own poor.
Drill baby drill. All of the above. Clean coal, coal to oil, nuclear, wind. We need a crutch until I get my flying car that runs on hydrogen that was promised to me in cartoons when I was kid (Jetsons).
All of the above. We get off oil and the thugs in the Middle East economies go to hell. 2 birds with one stone folks.
