Back to Work? Check Tax, Social Security, Medicare Impacts

The damage done by the past year of exorbitant gas prices will be long lasting and has all but destroyed our economy Families have been stretched to the max between filling up the family car to get back and forth to work, higher utility bills and the effect of high fuel on every consumer product we need to purchase. Jobs and homes are being lost at record rates..We need to wake up and realize how much our dependence on foreign oil and our slavery to OPEC has hurt our economy.We have so much available to us between free energy such as wind and solar to technologies such as hybrid and elec plug in cars that it is just ridiculous to continue on the path we are on. The cost of charging and driving an electric car would be equal to paying 60 cents per gallon of gas. The problem is electric cars cost too much for the average Joe (pun intended) :) Our government tries to stimulate our economy by handing out 168 BILLION dollars in stimulus checks.How much good did that do our economy really? And now Bernake wants to hand out another stimulus check. Solar and wind are free sources of energy.Let''s invest in getting those set up. Jeff Wilson just published a new book called THE MANHATTAN PROJECT OF 2009. Very interesting read.Our goverment needs to get serious and develop a plan to get us off oil.
