We face many issues today here in America about the economy. We rely too much on foreign products and we owed $16.3 trillion to other countries estimated during end of 2006. We also rely too much on foreign oil and the money is going to foreign countries and terrorist organizations. We don't produce enough products in our own country so we have to borrow from other countries. Our total imports from other countries are around 1,469,667, and total exports to other countries are about 817,939. As you can see we have products made more from other countries than we do here in U.S. Also, the main issue that all Americans face today are high gasoline and food costs, that made most of us deficit of money. Plus, the public debt had gotten worse since September 2007, therefore we owe a total of $9.67 trillion to other people. Many people and families are poor or in severe debt. A lot of people has lost their job or are going to lose their job. Inflation is raising prices to unheard numbers, especially on things such as oil and taxes. These taxes are high and are continuely spiraling upward. Taxes are raising which causes banks and other companies to go down causing people to lose their jobs and homes. The government is heavily taxing small compaines, not allowing them to possibly grow into larger compaines and create new jobs.

>  =__Economy__- LET McCAIN RELEIVE YOUR PAIN!!!!!!! =
 * __McCain's ideas about the economy:__**
 * 1) Cut back on wasteful goverment spending.
 * 2) He will increase the value of the dollar and thus reduce the price of oil.
 * 3) John McCain will look to bring greater affordability and competition to our drug markets through safe re-importation of drugs and faster introduction of generic drugs.
 * 4) He believes we must make information on treatment options and doctor records more public, and require greater transparency regarding medical outcomes, quality of care, costs and prices.
 * 5) John McCain believes to keep tax rates low, From 35% to 25% cut the corporate tax rate.
 * 6) He believes we should send a strong message to world markets. Under his plan, the United States will be telling oil producing countries and oil speculators that our dependence on foreign oil will come to an end
 * 7) John McCain is proposing a student loan continuity plan, he will call on the federal government and the 50 governors to anticipate loan problems and expand the lender-of-last resort capabilities for each state's guarantee agency.

All of these issues add up to families being in debt and a lot of people being without jobs. Our economy is headed in the wrong direction. Possibly, even in the direction of a depression. There is way to many unemployed people. Our debts are countinuosly piling up to unumaginal numbers. We depend on foreign countries and worry about what's going on in our country way too much. Also, taxes are way to high. Many familes are deep in debt. Also, several have around just about in debt and tons have recently entered debt. The only way fror them to get out of that debt is for them to get jobs, lower taxes, have the government pay the, out of debt with other people's money, or a combination of those reasons.
 * __Problems-__**

I will help solve our many problems with one fell-swoop. John McCain will lower America's dependency on foreign oil. I want to lower it by creating nucleur power plants here in the U.S. so that we can get what we need from our own country. I want to build more nucluer power plants. Approxitmentley 45,000 plants will be made by 2030 creating 700,000 new jobs for the unemployed. This will lower gas prices for everyone. This will lower our foriegn dependency, but also will get us away from using gas and toward other "greener" sources that are cleaner and better for our enviornment. He also will still use oil, but it will be American oil. I believe that we should still try and drill in Alaska to look for oil. I want to make a day during the summer where people cut back on buying gas for the day. I want to relief to reliance and idependece on gas and oil and use nucleur power more. He will commit 2 billion dollars every year to make cleaner resources like coal. This will give a lot of jobs to areas of people that don't have one. I will encourage the use of alternative, low carbon fuels such as wind, hydro and solar power. I want to support small businesses and lower the high costs of energy that really hurt the small businesses. He will lower Americans high taxes. They are very high, and many people are struggling to pay them. I am going to cut everyone's taxes by 23%.
