with the housing market in a serious decline,people getting pink slips,gas prices going to record highs,food cost are getting out of sight,no one  that trys to work 40+hours a week can save anything,all members of familys having to work just to get by pay check to pay check.and none of the canidates running for president are adressing these isues of either party.there is a lot of things that they could do to fix this serious situation.i have a few ideas and they are as follows
1= put a cap on the price of oil back to the year 2000,this would lower gas prices approx.2.00 a gallon.
2= open up all the oil pumps and rigs in the usa  that are shut down ie:la.,tx,ok.,co.etc ,and tell the opec guys to take their oil and shove it,cause if we stay independent and use our own supplys the will come around.
3=quit borrowing money from other countrys,and tell them to pay back what they owe us so we can bring down the national debt.
4=just these things above will bring down the cost of grocerys,gas.inflatiion and folks would have not to worry about makings ends meet
5=get all the big corpartions to pay their fair share of the taxes instead of letting them hide their money in the caymens,swiss banks avoiding their tax responsability
6=remove all tax cuts on people making over 150k a year and give it to the ones that make up to 149,999.99ka year.
7 =cut and cap ceo's departure packages to what most americans get when they leave a job
no one is worth a 160 million severance package.
8=make oil co.'s reinvest in new sources of energy instead of recording 10+billions in profits in a quarter and not telling what they do with this money
9=if chaves can sell 100.00a barrell oil and sell the people of venasula gas for 25 cents a gallon there is something wrong with this country.
10=cut back on gas consumption,if we all stopped buying gas 1 day a week the oil co's would feel the punch.example i filled up on dec.11 2007 and i have driven 40 miles since and i still have a full tank.we go to dr. grocery ETC. and thats it.we are retired and on a fixed income and im gonna try to see if i can go three months on 1 tank of gas.you can stay home and still enjoy life,read a book,tv,computer etc.carpool to work if possible
bottom line to all canidates is this
"ITS THE ECONOMY STUPID AGAIN"AND IF YOU CANT FIX IT YOU SHOULD GET OUT OF THE RACE FOR PRESIDENT.
ANYONE ELSE HAVE ANY GOOD IDEAS LET ME KNOW
THANKS AND GOD BLESS
