| 14. Spending $600 on a foreign made toy at Best Buy will not keep the economy from going down the tubes |

When the Roman people became disgruntled, the Emperor would declare a holiday and put on some Gladiator games to keep the masses amused.
Today the Government shells out a few hundred bucks to buy entertainment to keep the masses amused.
Our economy, any economy, needs manufacturing that produces a product the people want to buy. Our best bet right now is to become the World Center for Excellence in clean, renewable energy and sell that technology.
President Obama has been given the opportunity of a millennium to implement a 'Moon Shot' program for clean energy that would both revive our economy today, and keep us on top for generations.
We can't let petty politics from the Republicans from messing this up.
