President Obama is set to announce a bold new plan to balance the budget by the end of his term in office. Well, almost. At least he plans to bring it back to the Bush levels of Deficit by the end of his term. That’s a laudible goal. Howevewr, I believe that we cannot remain a free and just society until we make it our goal to have a balanced budget in every fiscal year so that we do not continue borrowing from our children’s savings to pay for today’s wastefulness.
Ending the Liar’s War in Iraq is essential to this cause. We are spending currently enough money DAILY to keep people in Iraq from killing each other that would FEED EVERY AMERICAN CITIZEN for a year, or to put it another way, PAY OFF THEIR MORTGAGES, thus ending the root cause of our country’s economic chaos.
So, I hope that Pres. Obama soon sees it this way, in a more logical way to redirect spending towards the folks at home, his folks. The folks in Iraq? They have existed for thousands of years somehow, so if we leave them to their own devices, there is no doubt they will find ways to survive for thousands more. It is not in the American Constitution that we are supposed to ensure the “Life, Liberty and Pursuit of Happiness” for any foreign nation. Only this one. And, right now, thanks to the idiotic decisions made by the last President, there is not very much Life, Liberty or Happiness in our own country or the rest of the world, for that matter.
Parenthetically, the Harris Poll came out a few days ago and President Bush made it into the TOP TEN HEROES of all time, just behind Jesus Christ who placed second under President Obama was Number One. It absolutely astounds me how there are still enough people in this country who do not understand the level of evil in the heart of our previous President. Everything that we are experiencing today was a DIRECT RESULT of “THE DECIDER” as he called himself.
Santayana, once said, “Those who do not remember history, OR ‘UNDERSTAND IT’ – (My Add) are dooomed to repeat it.”
But, getting back to my MAIN THEME here, if we convert our economy to a TOTALLY FREE and CLEAN sources of ENERGY to power our CARS, TRUCKS, SCHOOLS, INDUSTRIES, etc, we are doomed to continue the RACE to the BOTTOM in terms of national economies.
The reason we are in Iraq is because they have OIL under them. That’s the only reason. President BUSH lied to us all saying that we had to spend TRILLIONS of our dollars attacking and now saving them because of the fact that they had NUCLEAR WEAPONS that were aimed at New York, Chicago, Washington, D.C. and even Peoria Illinios. Actually, there were none and no way for them to get them. He knew it. But, he also knew that if he told us we had to waste this country’s future on trying to obtain OIL for our cars and trucks, WE WOULD HAVE RESOUNDLY TOLD HIM TO GO YOU KNOW WHERE. But, being an OIL MAN, it was far more important for THE GREAT DECIDERto get us into this mess for OIL, even though HAVING MORE OIL was a BIGGER PROBLEM for us and NOT A SOLUTION to anything. The GREAT DECIDER didn’t agree with that line of thinking. And, NOW, we must pay the PIPER. It’s as simple as that.
SO NOW, we must demand a much higher level of consciousness and responsiveness and cooperation from our leaders today because to expect only this past level of responsibility and creativity in the face of a problem is only going to sink us deeper into the abyss. The reason I fought so hard for Obama in his campaign is because I READ in his words and in his body language a man who would deliver on these higher expectations.
And, so far, he is still delivering for me. I believe this man is working harder and smarter than any other President in our history with more regard for the COMMON GOOD than any other President since old Abe. BUT, we need more from him. He must now look at the advice given to him from the old established thinking and he must also look to the ORDINARY COMMON SENSE, good ‘ole American Ingenuity and Innovation found on the Internet. Because ONLY really CREATIVE and THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX solutions can save us now. I believe President Bush expects us to FAIL and that’s the other reason why he sunk us so far into the quicksand of OIL that he hoped we may never recover. The OIL INDUSTRY is the only Industry making any profits right now. That’s the only evidence I need.
Like in the TV SHOW, SURVIVOR, our NEW LEADERS must “OUTWIT, OUTLAST and OUTPLAY” the dirty politics of the past. We can only do that by taking away the great power that OIL has over this nation. We must abolish the OIL LOBBYISTS and take away their tax credits. We must give these same tax credits and subsides to SOLAR and other ENERGY RELATED COMPANIES and nurture new start-ups in this field. We must encourage the INVENTORS and the INNOVATORS who have figured out new ways to go such as my plan to USE SOLAR ENERGY and MAGLEV to convert all our cars to CLEAN ELECTRICITY and help take us away from the OIL BARRONS of the EAST.
This concept and many other concepts that can be found on the Internet have to be woven into the MAIN POLICIES of this nation if we are to get out of this mess and someday balance the budget and bring this nation back to NUMBER ONE in the WORLD.
Here’s PROOF.
Just look at your own family’s budget. If you drill down on it and compare all the main expenditures, you will see that GASOLINE is 2nd to your Home Payment or Rent. And, heating and cooling are the THIRD greatest expenditures in your budget. (In some of your family budgets it will be the other way round because you either don’t drive very much or you take public transport to work.) But, NUMBER TWO and THREE will be the largest expenditures in your budget. FOOD may be in between these two, but I remove food from this discussion because this is a FIGURE that you can ADJUST either down or up, depending on your state of mind and your income level. You are POWERLESS to significantly impact your UTILITY bills or your GASOLINE bills, unless you convert your home to SOLAR PANEL GENERATION, a cost still to large for most of us to attempt.
AND, here’s the ECONOMIC PROOF of my concept. if you replaced your ENERGY BILLS and PAID them to the GOVERNMENT, our FEDERAL and STATE budgets would be in perfect balance.
IN OTHER WORDS, the money that is going to ENERGY should be going into supporting our COUNTRY and instead it goes to SUPPORTING the OIL BARRONS in the MIDDLE EAST who are intent to DESTROY OUR WAY OF LIFE and so far, are getting away with it.
Please see my previous MANHATTAN PROJECT BLOGS on how to TAKE SOLAR Energy and Adapt it to the FREEWAYS of this country and also use the NEWEST and LATEST technology in MagLev, Superconductivity and Supercapacitors to REINVENT THE WHEEL
THEN, please FAX copies to the WHITE HOUSE. WE SIMPLY MUST HAVE HIGHER LEVELS OF EXPECTATION of OUTCOME from our leaders than we gave to President Bush.
President Obama, I hope you are listening.
WHITE HOUSE FAX: 202-456-2461 TELL the President TO INVEST in this nation’s FUTURE by transforming our FREEWAYS to Solar Electric and MagLev. You can keep it simple like that or COPY the ENTIRE PLAN, in my previous blogs. ( I know he’s already seen it, perhaps a few more thousand copies will make the difference.)
You can do more if you wish. If you have a blog, you can point to this blog. If you have a web site, you can point your web site to this blog. We must form a GRASS ROOTS MOVEMENT around HIGHER EXPECTATIONS from our government, because if we don’t, they’ll think we don’t care.
I have not even mentioned how many jobs this plan would create. I’ll leave that up to you. AND, they would be high-paying and clean. MORE IMPORTANTLY the kind of jobs that make you feel proud of your days work when you get home to your family. And, you can sleep at night.
Stumble It!
