Dear Mr. President

Tony Francis - - You are missing the bigger picture. Competition forces efficiency. If we don't embrace intuition and better ideas, regardless of where they originate, we are in a sense paying the "tariff" ourselves... paying too much for inferior products which inhibit our own production.

Your idea, if applied to MLB baseball, would allow many more Americans to be playing in the world series right now. . . in a game that would have a slower pace, fewer head-turning plays and decreased interest from the fans. You can thank foreign competition for the level that we see played in professional sports and the convenience, reliability and AFFORDABILITY we see out of American cars. set a tariff and you will see a decrease in innovation of domestic cars, an increase in price and a smaller selection to satisfy your transportation needs. Study a little harder in your ITT Tech classes and enroll in an econ class or two and leave policy issues to those that have been awarded as the best of the best in the world in their field.

INCREDIBLE All of you seem to still think INSIDE the BOX!!!!!

As you may verify by going to http://theactsofprovidence.biz on july 27th, 2007 I sent Our Pesident George W. Bush the only hard copy of a $60-TRILLION USD Package I published entitled The ACTS of PROVIDENCE ("TAP"). On August 3rd, 2007 Our White House did indeed sign for TAP.

Using "Trickle Up Economics" TAP achieves the $60-TRILLION USD level WITHOUT A SINGLE TAX INCREASE or BUDGET CUT. NOT A PENNY!!!!! Quite the opposite, TAP augements virtually every budget as the Economics of it all Trickle Up from the Local level to the States then the Federal level before going International.

TAP even predicted the Fan/Fred disaster as TAP laid out cler avenues of problem resolution.

Very shortly after I sent TAP to Our President I assured wo can get on-line has access to TAP via FREe download in PDF format by posting TAP on-line at http://theactsofprovidence.biz once again. Don;t worry, the site does NOT have a bunch of buttons sporting sponsors, it does NOT ask for donations, TAP is for ALL hence FREE as TAP should be.

As I posted TAP I also contacted several folks you would think would care including the DNC, some specific Democrat as well as Republican politicians including Sen. Obama's office so am Honored when I hear proposals come out of the Obama camp which include "5-million 'green collar' jobs" and "Belly-up Economics" as the former Labor Secretary was talking of on one show.

$60-TRILLION USD, a Total Fan/Fred Bail-Out, Reversal of Global Warming, Illegal Immigrationn, Medical Research, from Local Schools & Wold Wide Infrastructure rennovations one local at a time to Natural Disaster & Military Readiness, from taking Excellent Care of our Veterans to Billion$ for NASA, it's all in TAP.

I STRONGLY ENCOURGE YOU to check out ACT XI - ADDING IT ALL UP!!!!! Then take it from there. Awe, and PLEASE SPREAD the WORD!!!!!!

Hi Geniuses, my name is Tony Francis, a non-deans list college graduate from a 4th tier state college. The only way to fix the 'GLOBAL' economy is for the United States (which is the primary market for the entire world) to place a tax or a 'tariff' on imported goods in order to secure domestic jobs. If people are out of work they are not going to buy domestic or even foreign products placing all markets in jeopardy. The system in place now supports the production and sale of cheaper foreign products that have flooded the global market and wreaked havoc on factories in the United States. One does not need to address the unemployment rate but one does need to draw attention to the number of poorly employed - for example a 40 or 50 year old supporting a family by working for $9 an hour at a Home Depot. If they were working on the floor at GM they would earn a fairer wage.

Free trade is naive, the Japanese buy Japanese cars because they are Japanese. This goes for all markets accept for those of the United States where we are so diverse and optimistic that we blind ourselves to the national pride of our competitors.

Buying American is the only way.

15 - 20% luxury tax on all goods imported to the United States. 5% tax on products that are made by foreign companies but manufactured by US workers. The tax money goes to subsidize its American counterpart and the price of the American product is driven down creating more jobs and boosting both domestic and foreign products. Once the economy is healed people will want 'luxury' foreign goods again.

The US has spent too much money on the never ending wars all over the world and building war machines and weaponaries.. The expenditure does not end when a war stops but will continue until the last veteran and his/her spouse is dead.

Dear President and Future President,

The country's economic mainstream problems is our foriegn dept. We owe the world bank. We need to sort, restructure our dept on foregn dept and payments. Paying the foeign dept is our only way out of recession. This has to be done ASAP or our country will continue to have this recession. If we do this, this will not only solve the recession when the deficit continue to fall, when we are paying the dept, it will create jobs and economic growth. If this is done, people will continue to have jobs and will be able to pay or restructure thier domestic dept on morgage and loans. We need to do this for the sake of our country and for our children's future.
There are number of ways we can make a payment, or paying the foreign dept and can be done from the following ways.:
1. Create a money reserve. We can create money reserve on gold, silver, copper, steel.
2. Create money reserve from foreign currency earned.
3. Create money reserve from citizens who work abroad.
And so forth. People are losing thier job everyday we need to act now , ASAP.

Bail outs in crisis are mandatory, However, these and lax bankruptcy rules, are teaching that the government will take care of it all, making us irresponsible and feel entitled no matter what. To assure this never happens again, we must immediately, reenact the regulations of the 1930???s, and prosecute big rollers, who caused this economic mess. A constitutional amendment must be created to assure this is law. This will restore trust in government. We cannot wait for the new president to do it.

Our nation has a 53 trillion debt. Obama wants to hand out to all in a socialist spirit. Where is the funding coming from? His tax the "rich corporations" will cause corporate flight to foreign lands drying up jobs assuring national bankruptcy

Our national health care with 15 million without insurance is a crisis. Let us copy the successful European health care systems, which works
Millions do not declare their real earnings, so a flat tax and tax for goods and services would increase revenues substantially.
Oil dependency must immediately phase out by alternate energy. The fear of atomic power, (which is clean, cheap and technically mature) was caused by oil companies, at great harm to our economy and environment. Our planet has about 22 years of oil reserves. If we do not opt for alternate energy, the current economic crisis will look like child???s play when we run out of oil. Our environmental crisis would improve if we use these sources or energy, saving our lives.
Finally, the economic duress caused by the war, is nothing compared to what would happen if we pull out now. This would cause political vacuum emboldening extremists. Encouraging increased attacks to western civilization, further harming our political and economic crisis.

Personally, Instead of the basic stimulus that we got. I would have given every family that paid their taxes a million dollars so that everyone could pay off their mortage, bills, buy a house and pay it off. Go on a trip, etc... Banks end up getting their money back and all. The people of this country would then have a huge birden taken off their shoulders. We wouldn't be so stressed out. Do that for familys/married couples, Single people could get something smaller I would say. Could go either way. I think it would have been much cheaper then the regular stimulus since even people that weren't supposed to get it, got it. I also think we do need to cap ceo pay. Is a ceo really worth more then a firefighter/police officer/or even a doctor? How about paying our military more as well. And health care, should be free to every us citizen except maybe paying some kind of copay per visit and different one time fee depending on the surgery. Our taxes should be going to education, military, cops, firefighters. Etc.. We need to reopen our own factorys. I've heared that taiwan makes our bullets for our military. Don't know if that's true or not. Just seems like as a nation we have no respect any more. We care mainly about materials rather then people. The government should totally be reformed from law by law. We should start from scratch pretty much and make some signifcant switches such as oil(energy in general). And this needs to be done within 3 years.

True energy-independence that maintains mobility at least back and forth to work is one priority. The energy economic indicator is a problem that needs to be brought under control. Minimizing the effects of rather lopsided natural disasters is another priority. How to control the energy economic indicator through a worldwide economic construction stimulus is a topic that I researched. It requires the cooperation of Big Business, Big Labor, and Big Government. Energy independence does not come cheap.

these are same guys that suported this coruption when is was going full tilt ,not one of them called it out ,when it needed to be addresed were were they then? just a few honest men in this nation for saw this coming ,and one stood up bravely and contested the matter in congess repeatedly he was laugh at by the noble prize winers bunch ,,,first start with massive arrests for fraud on wall st and follow the money trail that will restore trust in market place let the market value its assets on its own .wall st is casino operation plain and simple ,, stay out ,,unless your on the insider track of the casino...

YOU GUYS CAN EASILY REDUCE YOUR HEALTH SPENDINGS JUST BY FEEDING YOUR NATION (AT LEAST THE YOUNGER GENERATION) WITH RIGHT FOOD, AKA GREEN/ORGANIC. LOOK AT YOURSELF, HALF OF AMERICANS ARE OBESE DESPITE THE DAILY TOURS TO GYMS FOR WORK OUTS AND EXERCISES. IN KYRGYZSTAR FOR EXAMPLE, FARMERS DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FUNDS TO USE CHEMICALS/PESTICIDES SO THEY USE ORGANIC/NATURAL FERTILIZERS AND THERE ARE VERY FEW OBESE PEOPLE IN OUR NATION AND NO GYMS REQUIRED TO BE FIT. IN THIS REGARD WHY DON'T YOU TRY TO IMPORT FOOD PRODUCTS AND FEEL THE DIFFERENCE. AS FAR AS I KNOW AMERICANS WHO LIVE AND WORK IN KYRGYZSTAN JUST ADMIRE OUR FOODSTUFF. SO EATING WELL AND RIGHT PRODUCTS COULD IMPROVE THE HEALTH OF YOUR NATION. P.S. YOU MIGHT ASK WHY THEN THE LIFE EXPECTANCY IS LOWER IN KYRGYZSTAN THAN IN U.S. IT'S JUST THE GREASY MEAT THAT'S IN TRADITION OF OUR NATION, AND IT SO TASTY UNLIKE THE MEAT IN OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. BUT WE ADMIT THAT WE NEED TO REDUCE IT'S CONSUMPTION COS UNLIKE OUR ANCESTORS WE DON'T NEED TO EAT STRONG GREASY FOOD TO SURVIVE SEVERE WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Dr. Pete, I agree with you 100%. We also need to be teaching kids about money at a young age. My first day of college, I remember seeing all of these tents set up where people were pushing credit cards in exchange for free t shirts, or movie passes. I can't tell you how many of those kids I watched ruin their credit because they had no idea what they were getting into. We need to be teaching kids about compounded interest. Interest paid and interest earned. How to budget. How to set savings plans to buy something they want instead of paying three times as much using credit. Honestly, we live in a society that is completely and totally driven by credit and it's never been more evident. However, the majority of people in this country couldn't tell you the difference between simple interest and compounded interest. Its a cycle that will continue running until we do something about it. If the parents don't know, its unlikely their kids won't know. So, the cycle continues. It's time we start preparing kids for what they are going to face. Home Ec? Woodshop? That's all well and good, but it's time we start arming them with something that is going to allow themselves to fight through the battles they will face in their future.

Anyone who is not willing to live in the streets because of their mistakes is a mistake! The wage earners of this country are becoming the slaves of Rome to those unworthy of a handout.
