I will be attending a meet-up for the Rebuild the American Dream |
|
movement tomorrow the 17th of July.
That is a date to remember.
I hope you will find a group also and attend.
Let's end our dependency on foreign oil. If you look at the list of countries and their debt to GDP ratios, you will see that the oil exporters are in the black and the oil importers are not doing so well in that respect.
So alternative energy and the other things that will place the American Dream within the grasp of our children and grandchildren are worth working for.
I don't know for sure, but I'm going to find out for myself whether the Rebuild the American Dream group is a good place to start in this important work.

1. Just got back from one in Nashville |
|
It was pretty interesting. Kind of a prototype for a "worker's council" set up to me. Good luck JD.

2. You might mention fair trade tariffs. There once was a time when |
|
it cost $1.00 in labor to make a said product in the USA, but a company could make the same product in let's say China for 10 cents, we had a ninety cent tariff if they shipped it here. Tariffs were here to protect US manufacturing jobs. We need FAIR TRADE, not FREE TRADE!
