The number one reason why we are in so much debt is because of oil/war in iraq.
Oil = old technology, dinosaur (literally lol)
We went to war with Iraq because of our dependency on OIL.
The terrorist are funded from oil money, money from ALL of us.
If it wasn't for oil, the richest people in the middle east would be living in a wooden shack opposed to a sand hunt. There would be 99% LESS money in the middle east if not for oil. That money makes it way back to terrorist and funds them to attack us.
Does it make sense to send money to our enemies so they can have weapons and means to fight us, so we can inturn then spend more money to defend ourselves from them?
A smarter solution is to attack them financially and take their means to hurt us away.
Make oil worthless and the most harm the terrorist can do is throw rocks out our embassy.
Make oil worthless by innovating and developing alternative sources of energy.
Produce alternative sources of energy and sell to the rest of the world = fix economy, trade deficit, and make the dollar a lot stronger.
A world with out oil = no middle east terrorist (save billions fighting and protecting ourselves from them) + make billions from new technology and alternative sources of energy we sell to the rest of the world.
So why did Bush, who's family made money in the oil business and was heavily connected with oil decide to go the route he did oppose to the common sense I listed above ? If Bush would have spent those trillions on iraq into pushing hard for us to develop alternative sources of energy, the war would be over with because the terrorist would have no money to fight us.
Bush fucked it up bad. But hey Clinton didn't exactly push hard for alternative sources of energy either.
