We need to be self sufficent. Drill our own oil, make our own goods and stop making China the #1 power in the world. Thats where they are heading.

BIGMAN Little Rock, AR	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Aug 1, 2008 I lived in Springfield back in 1957.I can remember when I had a full time job with Pepsi-Cola and a part time job with Macs Spring and Brakes on Bay Street. Every one of my friends worked and went home at "bedtime".With all the jobs gone,people have nothing to do but get in trouble.This leads to a bad economy and a rise in crime.The answer is making people work,and how can they with no jobs.It`s a bad situation at the best.
