The title of this article is so full of compounded bad economic and political logic that it is essentially propaganda. It would take a genius at economics, ecology, religious reform into a priesthood of egalitarian believers, philosophy, cosmology, science, mechanics, design in engineering and the power to persuade the citizens and get political objectives accomplished in spite of resistance from concentrated wealth establishments and their subordinates-and America doesn't have one of those in the White House presently nor is it likely to in the next century. America has its own fate in its own power yet it cannot apply political and economic intelligence and intention at all.

The next President of the topic reference could be Obama now or the 2012 0r 2016 guy-at any rate the best immediate way to increase U.S. global competitively would be to take a course of national self-interest with a pervasive rectification of political method. The Congress should want to pass several Laws that would limit all immigration-legal and illegal to 250,000 annually. create a M.I.T.I. style board to find ways to invest in American businesses that will eliminate trade deficits by inventing better products manufactured domestically or methods of supplying the need for imports. Generally supporting super-conductor applications and developments along with home produced electrical energy-getting off the grid to cut the sucking networks of globalists attached to all American wallets a little, would be a start.

The Government itself is divided and uncertain about what policy it has a right to take nor an obligation to accomplish, so I will clarify a couple of points, at least, on that subject. The Government has a history of setting social standards and regulations for infrastructure and mass produced items. Sewage systems, building codes and highway construction must meet government criteria to be allowed to go forward. Free enterprise must meet those standards to sell product in the United States. When the people have compelling social interest in preventing harm to themselves or their environment the government is expected to intervene with quality and control regulations. Such is now the case with the auto industry and its polluting and economically harmful effects on the nation's citizens-unfortunately the Government is being offered a controlling interest in General Motors with the U.A.W. getting about 39% and ten percent targeted to go to settle old debts-what will the U.S.
