To be heading in a positive direction we need to break away from OPEC and produce our own oil for gasoline. OPEC has total control over world oil but we can control our own oil. No need to jack the price up either, creates home jobs and makes auto travel more appealing. To pay anything over $3 dollars is ridiculous. $1.25-$1.50 is an acceptable range. And with US oil being the sole provider, the price range won't vary greatly from state to state but rather stabilize across the country

I knew he was a long shot to win, but my conscience is clear knowing that I did not contribute to the decay of our nation by not voting for either one of the elitists.
eric1844 Rookie Author New Hampshire Posts:5 Points:37,000 Joined:Feb 2013	Message Posted: Feb 4, 2013 7:39:26 PM Ignore eric1844 Report Abuse Obama failed us and I'm really not surprised. Being from the Bay State I already knew Romney was a shitty Governor so I had no faith in him either. I'm an Independent Libertarian and I'm open to voting for any party, but I voted for Gary Johnson. He had more executive experience than Obama and Romney combined and overall had a better message. Sadly, the American voter is too stupid so my vote probably just went into the mist. Though I have no regrets because I didn't vote for either of the bickering and mentally challenged statists.

zeuskid Rookie Author Durham Posts:37 Points:127,795 Joined:Dec 2012	Message Posted: Jan 27, 2013 11:36:42 PM Ignore zeuskid Report Abuse Slowly...VERY slowly but yes, we are. Although I think Americans have gotten a lot more involved in what happens in Washington over the last 20 years, we continue to allow such unproductive bickering in congress? True discussions withstanding. Simply put, there seems to be a lot of arguing for argument's sake. I second Warren Buffet's recent statement, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election." Extend this "ineligible for re-election" consequence to a few more topics and we'd have a more productive government and get our act together a lot quicker.

busdrivered5 Rookie Author Philadelphia Posts:23 Points:222,135 Joined:Jul 2012	Message Posted: Jan 25, 2013 5:12:36 AM Ignore busdrivered5 Report Abuse Yes I think the country is headed in the right direction. The first step to solving a problem is recognizing it, in my opinion I think that has been done. What I think the largest problem is "how to resolve it" In my opinion NO ONE has presented anything close to resolving the problem mainly because of a lack of concern for what is happening to the people regardless of the ethnic, religious, sexual orientation. Until there is cooperation nothing is going to be resolved after all this country did not just end up in the situation it is in during the last 16 years it has been a steady progression and right now we are all in financial slavery until this is resolved.

Most of them are in Congress to become rich. About 90% of people elected for a congressional seat enter their job as a mid class american and leave as a millionaire. Personal interest dominates the offices of Congress. STOP PARTISAN POLITICS and start solving the countries problems, we have plenty.
