Ok first of all you wouldn't want to move to Sweden they're socialist. This wont happen the US southern states would never allow a woman into office. Most of the south still believes women should be in the kitchen cooking. What you all fail to realize if we ween off of our foreign dependency the government and energy companies own all the oil wells that are under American control. So that would only mean higher gas prices even now with the US government setting it here in the United States.
ALSO the President of the United States doesn't automatically get law into the constitution. It has to be ratified through Congress with a 3/5s (I think 3/5s) consensus from both houses then signed by the President or let it sit on their desk for I believe 30 days then it gets placed into law or goes back up (this part I'm not 100% sure on I know laws have been passed that way here in IL by sitting on the Govenor's desk for a month). The President's power is essentially command the military, veto bills ratified by congress, and sometimes propose a bill to congress which may get shot down. Or their is the hidden trait of not doing anything to help improve anything.
While I am thinking of it as well the whole ethonal gas thing wont work out. Yes it is true that there are less emissions with ethanol gas, but the emissions that are left by the fuel kind of branch from the worse of the emissions from normal fuel. So I wont agree with Bush on trying to focus on E85 ethanol.
Another hot issue that will be brought up is outsourcing industrial jobs over seas for cheaper wages from workers making the rich become richer. I know it is unconstitutional to put a ban on outsourcing or giving jobs to illegal immigrants so you can not by any means do that. What can be done is propose a bill, most likely to be turned down, of taxing the crap out of U.S. businesses like Ford, Chevy, and others from the United States so that American workers are even cheaper than outsourcing and illegal immigrants.
The final burning issue on my brain is how privatizing Social Security wont be a good thing. For those of you who don't know, privatized Social Security (I'll call it S.S. now) is if you put money in S.S. when you get to the age or retire you get that money back and can invest it. Good idea right? There is a problem with this idea though. This problem lies in the fact that people already on S.S., about to go on it within in a year, just retired but aren't 65, or about to retire can NOT put into this type of S.S. because they're out of work. This idea could work for people 45 and under but it would never work for those that can not work because of their age to receive that funding. What needs to happen is stritcer regulations on S.S. so money can not be so easily pulled out by politicians so the well wont dry up. Tax money and portions of paychecks go into S.S so the well can't dry up unless the pooling just gets horrendious because of corrupt politicians that are elected. Remember the people that are elected by the minority of the majority and minority elect these people. America might have the lowest turn out ratio of registered voters of 35-40% per general election.
That statistic has to change, but why complain if you don't participate in government? You didn't vote you didn't elect your representitives because you didn't want to or couldnt because of stipulations. Online voting should we have it in America?
The real crappy part is I would rather see Obama in office over Clinton, and not just because I am from Illinois. I think Obama represents the lower classes well. Where as the rest, Republican and Democrat alike, were raised in the upper class and had all their privliages because of that wealth they had.
As for the Canada thing all I have to say is you're the butt of every American joke. Isn't that right eh?
So for the long winded post.
