  What happened to Good Old American Ingenuity?

  We as Americans were once looked at as Leaders of Men, we dominated industry and Manufactured Quality, Safe, and Practical Assets. That I am Afraid has been lost to us. We are laughed at in this matter, we need to get the spirit of our Fathers and Grandfathers back and start Mass Producing/Manufacturing our own goods once again. Then we will be able to hold our heads up high and smile as we feel that pride we once had ...more »

  Duplicate Spending on R&D etc;

  How much money do we spend on funding focus groups to find out why fish feel pain or why people like choclate(we need to stop that). Also instead of funding 1,000's of different groups that look for cure's to diseases and research for other useful purposes, bring them together as one whole group and fund that 1 group. the only time we find answers is when we work together.

  Stop Making Pennies & Keep Prices The Same, Save Billions

  If we stop minting pennies but keep prices at e.g. $19.96, then pay to the nearest Nickle= $20.00 we would then have an extra 1-4 cents per transaction for the millions of transactions daily and roll the 1-4 cents in to a strictly watched fund that would take care of Education, SS, Road Construction, and pay down on the Deficit. I do not see how this would be bad for anyone.
