An intense effort to explore the mineral wealth of the US should be put into place ASAP. This will create millions of new jobs. And America is going to need jobs, lots of jobs.

In my opinion the price of gas has played a huge part in the downfall of our economy. Having to budget $1000.00+ a month for gas is killing us. I wonder if that accelerated the number of foreclosures. Going out to dinner, a little shopping here and there, vacations, etc. all those little extras is what fueled the economy, now it’s all going to fuel our cars so we can get to work.
