. Fair Tax
The reason why things happen (or don’t happen) in Washington is because of Lobbying efforts.
Lawyers love the current federal tax code – lucrative business. Their lobby will always fight against reform.

. Spending Money
Makes one long for the days of Bush I and Clinton. I’m really displeased with the way Bush II
is borrowing (no tax increase) to build military programs. Such as the “Ballistic Missile Defense System .” BTW, that’s not fighting terrorism (as far as I’m concerned). My kids and grand-kids will be paying for this nonsense.
Also, in case no one noticed, the Japanese won the automobile sales competition. Let them spend the money on Hybrid research.

. Guest Worker
We all should be aware that we (the U.S.) are competing with the E.U. (not to mention China). To me this means that
we should make every effort to include Mexico in our “economic bloc” – not just Canada. How
do we do this? NAFTA was the start and the Guest Worker program seems like a move in furthering that cause.

. Untapped Oil
(First, see my comment above about Lobbying). Do you think oil companies want to increase the supply of available oil? Not an economist, but more supply means lower prices. Unless someone can prove to me that the environmentalists have a bigger lobby than the oil lobby then, I’ll go with my theories.

I have more comments but my wife wants me out of the kitchen …
