A mandate that new home be "greener" then normal to help reduce energy use which is 90% petroleum based, would only adds only 5 to 8% to the homes cost. http://www.eco-smart.org/presentatio...-overviews.pdf
How about forcing new cars purchased in the US to be more fuel efferent. The 2008 Honda Civic Hybrid cost $22,600 and gets 47city/ 48 hwy.
Not a scary start.
Did you read Obama's plan? He has five ways in which his plan would lower costs.A national health care system will do more harm than good and cost the average joe more money.
You do know that Obama would not pull all of the troops out at one time. A slow withdraw would force the Iraq government to move forward. With us setting there with no plans on leaving they have no reason to do anything.Leaving Iraq will kill many more people the fact of the matter is the Iraqi goverment is in no position to "do something" right now and we need to face that.
If we stay in Iraq for a long period of time, how long do you think our volunteer army will last? A draft in this country would not be a good thing.
Which got us out of a Depression, and feed people, and gave them jobs. Plus the Republicans who believe in "less government" have always added more to the deficithttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationa...idential_termsFDR started defict spending and created and artifical market with his new deal his economic policies are the reason our economy has a crippiling defict.
Getting off oil will not have a long term benefit? Creating a system that will get more people health care will not help in the long term?To often people look at the short term and neglect the long term. Health care the economy energy they are all pressing issues however we need long term not short term soultions.
That is why you seem uninformed and are losing this debate.I don't think that far ahead.
