That's a great idea. Let's start by pulling out of Iraq and Afghanistan right now. We can continue by closing our 700 plus military bases spread out across the globe, then we can cut all the subsidies to the oil industry, the nuclear industry etc. After that we can institute a national health service program similar to Canada's and save a ton of money on healthcare. I'm sure others can come up with more belt-tightening ideas.... He wants to cut the deficit? That's a great idea. Let's start by pulling out of Iraq and

All I can say is hoard peanut butter and other non-refrigrated food supplies, they will be worth more than gold. America sucks and anyone who says different is a lying sack of crap. We had 30 years to free us from crazy ass middle eastern oil, but we were seduced by cheap oil, now America is a vassal to the oil states. Shame on us! Bring on new green industries that will employ millions of Americans. We will see what happens.
