William, read a little about Ecosphere Technologies.

Not many today remember having to drive at 55mph on a Interstate highway and even less remember mandatory gas rationing "A, B, C, X" from December 1, 1942 to August 15, 1945 with a speed limit of 35mph.

Chrysler made fuselages. General Motors made airplane engines, guns, trucks and tanks. Packard made Rolls-Royce engines for the British air force. And lets not leave out Ford turning out one B-24 Liberator long-range bomber that had 1,550,000 parts every 63 minutes.

It really is amazing that the hydrogen-fueled internal combustion vehicle has been around since 1807 and Germany had a thousand running the streets doing World War II but after 200 years "oil" still rules.

What if today... the United States of America sold "Save America Petroleum Bonds" to individuals and the GM,Chrysler and Ford's of the World get off their lazy @ss.....oops!

It takes bout $2500 to retro-fit automobiles to run on natural gas....and with America having enough of this energy for another 100 years....and with the price cheaper than gasoline....if only half the people in America put more of this in their automobile tanks besides tat dang tiger from the Arabian sands....the price of Americans freedom would be worth a 1000 fold and a gallon of gas to those people skiing inside tat man made Aspen ski slope in Dubai worth bout 2 RED CENTS.....

oh! maybe you need to tell those turnips in Washington D. C. about those 15 cargo ships that pollute as much as 760 MILLION automobiles.....yes.....760 million....that's about the number that is on this planet Earth as I type.

And while those turnips are reading all about those 15 cargo ships....please let them know that it takes $9 billion a year in hidden taxes from ALL AMERICANS to clean the dang fish from the ballast tanks of ships.

Maybe you can get the turnips to response on those facts before they shove that Carbon Tax Bill up every Americans @.

Remember what Lance Winslow wrote in that article "The Flow of Trade in a Global Economy"....dang! better yet...jus take the time and read this ...."Now let us look at Wal-Mart again; you buy a product there, 6% goes to the employees, 10-18% is profit to the company, 25% goes to other costs and 50% goes to re-stock or the cost of goods sold. Of the 50% about 20-25% goes to China, a guess, but you get the point. Now then, how long will it take at 433 Billion dollars at year for China to have all of our money, leaving no money flow for us to circulate? At a 17 Trillion dollar economy less than 40-years minus the 1/6 they buy from us. Some say that if we keep putting money into our economy, it would take forever, but if we do not then eventually all the money flow will go. If China buys our debt then eventually they own us, no need to worry about a war, they are buying America, due in part to our own mismanaged trade, so whose fault is that? Not necessarily China, as they are doing what's in the best interests, and we should make sure that trade is not only free, but fair too."

Also, think for a moment about George Washington....yes the man that is on the US dollar bill.... "Washington had been reelected unanimously in 1792. His decision not to seek a third term established a tradition that is now embedded in the 22d Amendment of the Constitution."

Take the time to read his farewell address after only eight years of serving his country and than ask yourself this....How do you think George feels being sent overseas in return for all that foreign so-call cheap items and being left in a foreign bank because the American worker doesn't make anything for the foreigners to buy. Cheap items didn't make this great union of 57...oops! 50 states the greatest place on the face of this Earth.....the American worker (union and non-union) did.

You can't have a strong country without having a strong currency and you can't have a strong currency unless you keep it floating around within your 50 states. This is why the store with the star in the name puts 95% China made items in their stores in China....to keep their "yuan" in their country helping the nice people there. And with only 5% left for all the other 182 country's that make stuff including the United States of America....that doesn't produce very many jobs outside of China.

Being an old person myself and knowing how it was back in the 40's, 50's and 60's in this union of 50 states....I look at George each time I pull him out of my billfold and make a promise to send him out for items made in America so after floating around helping each hand he touches just maybe one day he will shake mine again.

This O'fart lives and breaths freedom, liberty, pride in country and America making stuff...cause Retail makes nothing, the Government only makes more debt....it's time for a little less of those two and for America to get back to making stuff.

If Lady Liberty doesn't get those turnips away from the 6 to 1 trade deficit the US has with China....she will be kneeling on one knee in the Hudson River and that tablet from under her left arm will be in the hands of a person in Shenzhen, China....and he/she will be watching the fireworks.

Oh! by the way....Wal*Mart's Global Procurement Offices is in that same town....and all the Wal*Mart's in China only have 5% FOREIGN.

on Wal*Mart's China web page!

"Wal-Mart China persists in local procurement which provides more job opportunities, supports local manufacture industry and promotes local economy. So far, 95% of merchandising sold at Wal-Mart China store are local products by which Wal-Mart has established business relations with nearly 20,000 suppliers. At Wal-Mart, we treat suppliers as partners and would like to develop with them. In 2008 Wal-Mart won the Supplier Satisfaction published by Business Information of Shanghai for five consecutive years."

That does not support American exports nor does it support American jobs.....but drilling for natural gas under the greatest union on this Earth certainty can....and it can be done without the dang help of the turnips in D. C.

Good day and God Bless!
