Obama hasn't "CUT" my taxes at all. I make a lot more money than you do obviously.
The number of people on foodstamps has doubled (YOU look it up) during Obama's administration. The poverty level has risen dramatically under his 4 years as well. Probably all Bush's fault in your world I'm sure.

I have often thought that oil is yesterdays energy source and we need to do away with it where we can. Sure, right now we can't fly a jet or run a big semi-truck on electricity so we will still need it, but we are sitting on an ocean of natural gas in the gulf and we have infinite sun and wind power in many parts of this country. We can also do nuclear so long as we do it correctly. If we wanted to we could create enough energy to run all commuter cars and basic everyday cars and trucks as well as all the households in this country and most of the industries in this country just using wind, solar and natural gas.
We could all but put an end to importing oil and that would remove much of our interests from the middle east. We wouldn't be giving billions to countries that hate us and we would create a ton of permanent jobs in this country not to mention the money we can make once we start selling this technology and information to other countries.
But sadly, our leaders are bought and paid for by oil companies who have no interest in in any of this so we will continue to on as we are now.
