Ugh, I cant believe I just read all that, haven't been on these forums in months, and this is what i chose to read. This thread has been so much like bullshit politics, there is way to much vague comments like we need change, I think both candidates are looking to make changes. Also, there is so much more slamming the opposing candidate than giving actual positive factors about your candidate of choice. Second, stop complaining about unemployment, then encourage people to buy a prius. Buy an american made car, then you have actually had your subtle effectect on the economy. And yes, drill here. PLEASE. Why not become dependent on our own oil, even if it is for a short time it lasts. Hopefully we will be able to kick our super dependency on oil by the time our supply runs out. And again, it would make many jobs for our citizens. THe answer isn't isn't raising taxes to give everyone health coverage, then out sourcing the work that makes our medication. We just need to get back to being an industrial nation. Can't keep shopping at walmart buying everything made overseas and expect our economy to get better. The more people put out of work by our consumers relying on foreign made products, the more people that you are going to have to support on your dollar through taxes. And close the friggin borders, and start making people come to this country legally. Not saying don't let people in, but make them register as cictizens and pay taxes just like everyone else. Seriously a lot of the work we can't outsource, like construction is just being preformed by illegals who send their money back to mexico and dont pay any taxes here. I mean you can't blame them for doing it, it's our fault. Let them come work, but make them do it legally and pay taxes just like us. Well I have to get back to work and close my shift up.
