Open up our domestic energy recources now!That is what will open up the most jobs in america. I think it’s great to try and stimulate alternative energy. However, doing that will take away more jobs than it will create. If the economy is really #1 priority than put something into domestic sources and decrease dependence on foreign oil at the same time. Also, bigger the stimulus package the bigger the debt and the worse the economy will be for future generations.

what domestic energy resources do you refer to that are not alternative energy sources? coal? oil? gas?
what about the pollution levels we’re choking ourselves with? have you not seen the Tennessee sludge slides from coal operation? What about CO2 emissions and our rapidly warming planet … or do you believe that to be a hoax?
alternative energy investments in solar, wind, water, and more will create NEW jobs, new wealth, new security. And they will create by-products that are miniscule in proportion to coal and oil.
The economy is not the #1 priority - people are. We need to invest in ourselves. We need to better educate ourselves, we need to make livable space, cleaner environments, and sensible transportation methods. All of these create jobs, wealth, security - AND improve the quality of our lives.
The national ‘debt’ is a function of LACK of spending - a function of FAILED tax reduction theory of Bush/Reagan’omics. Proper enforcement of fair and balanced tax collection from corporations and individuals would do our country almost as much good as fair and balanced investment in education, environmentally sound energy production, and other infrastructure development.

I love that woman….
Plus we send $780B dollars to foreign countries that HATE us for energy…AKA oil. So regardless of what source, it needs to be domestic. Now the smart thing would be to pass conservation laws as in weathering homes so we don’t have to buy and build more energy (I know…I mean being more efficient is soooooo lame yet saves and makes sooo much money…please see Toyota and yes they are loosing money this year which is the first time in 65 years…unlike other car producers) Then we need to diversify our domestic sources like your investment portfolio, with the corner stone being placed on electric production…not oil. And yes even nuke (disclaimer* we need to invest in a recycle program and only build small plants that run at 80% capacity…for further information please see France and their very cheap energy). Now you do that…which this bill wants to do and you cut our imported oil in half so we have $350 billion domestically produced (just in energy and not supply’s industries) there your increase in tax revenues.
Finally, I find it funny that it’s OK to spend money in Iraq (which over $100B went missing) rather than my fellow countrymen. Where’s the patriotism?

Oh and we are already screwed in terms of debt. Tax cut and Iraq have already taken care of that. please see the dollar’s major drop last year….which will happen again in 18 months. so invest in gold. No I’m kidding.
This was the first administration ever in history to launch a war, let alone two, and then pass a tax cut, multiple times. $10B a month for Iraq. So you want to save the debt pull out asap. Then go ask the previous administration to pay for it, out of their own pocket.

In regard to the health care dabate that is raging in our country I would urge all Democratic senators and congressmen, especially those so-called blue dog democrats who are waivering on a public option in any new health care bill would best be served by reading John F. Kenndey’s pulitzer-prize winning book, “Profiles in Courage.”
