Hundreds of Thousands of our troops have served in Iraq while Congress and the Senate fail often to promote industries which can provide Veterans jobs when they return home.

Here’s U.S. Auto Company, Labor and Industries Reward for embedding themselves with Oil Companies and the Middle East (OPEC):

September (2008) job losses steepest in 5-1/2 years:

Ford U.S. sales fall 34.6 percent

GM Posts $15 Billion Loss As Sales Skid

Nearly 1 in 5 car dealerships could fail

Auto Sales Fall 27% As Credit Tightens

Even in the best of times under Bush, our Economy lost Millions of Jobs, and most jobs created were low paying. We’ve had negative Job Growth for the last 8 years and lost over 600,000 jobs this year alone. That is the Real Problem (along with inflated home values and mortgages).

You want Jobs and a strong Economy? Then eliminate Tax Credits for Big Oil and increase Tax Credits for Renewable Energy.

We have the Best Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro and Biofuel Resources in the World. Global Companies want to invest in developing and profiting from our Renewable Energy resources much like We invested in Middle East Oil.

We can create 2 Million Clean Energy jobs in just 2 years with a $100 Billion investment. Imagine how many $700 Billion would create (14 Million New Jobs?):

Change the focus to Job Creation and Invest $100 Billion annually in Renewable Energy Investment Tax Credits. That alone can generate $700~800 Billion of new Investment into our Economy Annually, along with Millions of Jobs. In the long run it also frees us from sending Hundreds of Billions to the Middle East for Oil.

Failure to raise fuel efficiency standards has cost our auto industry tens of thousands of jobs and Billions of dollars in losses. Big Oil has corrupted government employees charged with providing oversight and collecting Royalties. They are stealing from the public at every level. High Oil prices have depressed nearly every aspect of our economy from Food to Manufacturing, from transportation to investing in new technologies.

We have the Best Wind, Solar, Geothermal, Hydro and Biofuel Resources in the World. Global Companies want to invest in developing and profiting from our Renewable Energy resources much like We invested in Middle East Oil.

--BUT--

Oil companies have corrupted both Republican Senators and Government employees charged with collecting Royalties and in doing so have been stealing from our Country, Families, and Troops. The Government Accounting Office (GAO) released the following report regarding Oil and Gas Royalties. Bottom line is Big Oil companies have been cheating the American Taxpayer in addition to corrupting government employees charged with providing oversight and collecting Royalties.

Unlike Oil, every dollar of PTC generates 8 dollars of investment, which would otherwise not exist. Given an 8 to 1 return in something that’s also improves the Security of our Country, and frees us from dependence on Middle Eastern Oil and borrowing money from China to pay for it, should not be a Partisan issue. Stop letting Big Oil companies dictate the future of America. Keep Jobs in America by expanding industries, educational, investment, and career opportunities for Americans.
