How are we going to keep our edge as we move further into the 21st century? Jobs are being shipped out left and right our economy is service based and we are losing a technical edge which America has had a lock on for quite a while. After WW2 we produced the most steel oil and food. Now China pumps out the most steel our oil reserves are gone and Americas farmers are paid not to grow crop. We do not offer the world anything tanigable and all we seem to do is consume and make our debt get bigger and bigger. My soulution is this. Stop outsourcing this is the main cuase of America losing jobs. The fat cats want a good profit margin tax the hell out of them to outscource make it more profitable to pay Americans. Stop paying Farmers not to plant let them plant all there land graze all there cattle and America will bury the wrold in foodstuffs. Start investing in Industrial/manfacturing/Rescource jobs. America still has massive coal reserves left and I suggest we use this as a double eged sword. We use the coal to make steel and we improve its standing as a fossil fuel buying making it clearner to burn. With oil like it is who knows maybe Coal will be a better alternartive to it. Thoughts?
