Yet, not enough attention or credit has been given to this one single factor in our economy. Large portions of every budget was thrown away on fuel from the schools keeping their school busses on the road to police and fire departments. It was not planned nor expected but happen just the same. The trickle down/ripple effect is never ending.The cost of every other consumer product that budgets must cover were further sucked away from increased prices on consumer goods that have risen do to the higher production and shipping costs. WE need to invest some of these billions in stimulus pkgs (that did nothing for our economy) and bail out funds to initiate alternative energy projects. Create millions of badly needed now green collar jobs, create clean cheap energy, and get out from under our dependence on foreign oil. OPEC is planning to cut production to raise prices again. We can't take another year like the last. Jeff Wilson has a wonderful new book out called The Manhattan Project of 2009 Energy Independence Now. This book is so profound it needs to be a required read of every government official. We have to look at our problems in the long term. Tunnel vision and short term memory loss has contributed to our economy's downfall. This past year the high cost of fuel bankrupted us as a nation at large.
