THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY & ITS PROPOSED "MAXIMUM ACHIEVABLE CONTROL TECHNOLOGY" RULES: THE MACT RULES WILL BRING FEW BENEFITS, BUT WILL IMPOSE EXTENSIVE COSTS. THE NEW RULES ARE NOT BASED ON CREDIBLE SCIENTIFIC & EPIDEMIOLOGICAL STUDIES. NOT ONLY IS EPA'S ANTI-MERCURY CAMPAIGN SCARING MOTHERS & CHILDREN INTO NOT EATING NUTRITIOUS FISH THAT IS RICH IN OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS, IT IS ALSO RAISING ELECTRICITY, HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING & FOOD COSTS, IMPAIRING ELECTRICAL RELIABILITY, COSTING JOBS, & THEREBY HARMING THE HEALTH & WELFARE OF COUNTLESS AMERICANS. MANY SEE THE EPA'S ACTIONS AS CONSTITUTING A MASSIVE POWER GRAB THAT THREATENS TO GIVE THE AGENCY NEARLY UNFETTERED POWER OVER THE ENERGY WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR LIVELIHOODS & LIVING STANDARDS.

THE FUTURE OF AGRICULTURE:  CAN WE SUCCESSFULLY GROW MORE PLANTS PER ACRE AS A FUTURE STRATEGY FOR INCREASING OUR CROP YIELDS? THE WORLD WILL NEED TWICE AS MUCH FOOD IN 2050, & WE WILL NEED TO TRIPLE THE CROP YIELDS ON THE BEST LAND. FOR THIS STRATEGY TO BE A SUCCESS, THE FIELDS WILL NEED CONSISTENT RAINS, IRRIGATION, OR SUPPLEMENTAL IRRIGATION IN WELL-WATERED REGIONS. OTHER NEEDS:  PROBABLY, DROUGHT-TOLERANT SEEDS & SOME ACTUAL RE-DESIGN OF PLANT LEAVES IN ORDER TO MAXIMIZE THE AMOUNT OF HEAT THE PLANTS INTERCEPT FROM THE SUN, LOTS OF NITROGEN FERTILIZER, CAREFUL MANAGEMENT TO PREVENT THE EXTRA NITROGEN FROM LEACHING INTO STREAMS, & GOOD EROSION CONTROL TO PREVENT THE SOIL FROM SLIPPING AWAY DURING STORMS.

GOVERNMENT FINANCE:  U.S. FISCAL & MONETARY POLICY & ITS CONSEQUENCES -- THE U.S. NATIONAL DEBT EXCEEDS THE NATION'S ANNUAL CAPACITY TO GENERATE INCOME, THAT IS, THE FEDERAL DEBT IS LARGER THAN THE GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP). CURRENTLY, THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM IS FOLLOWING A POLICY OF QUANTITATIVE EASING, PRINTING VAST QUANTITIES OF DOLLARS & THEREBY DEVALUING THE U.S. CURRENCY -- U.S. DEBT LEVELS HAVE BEEN DRIVEN TO HISTORIC HIGHS. WHAT THE U.S.A. NEEDS TO SOLVE ITS FINANCIAL & ECONOMIC PROBLEMS ARE STEADY ECONOMIC GROWTH & CREATION OF JOBS, ACCOMPLISHED BY PRIVATE ENTERPRISE & FACILITATED BY A FAVORABLE BUSINESS CLIMATE PROVIDED BY GOVERNMENT. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT'S IMPOSITION OF HIGH TAXES DOES NOT PROVIDE A GOOD ENVIRONMENT FOR AMERICA'S BUSINESS & INDUSTRIAL COMMUNITY TO INVEST & EXPAND. MOREOVER, A VAST MATRIX OF GOVERNMENT RULES & REGULATIONS MAKES DOING BUSINESS IN THE U.S.A. EXPENSIVE, DIFFICULT, & OFTEN UNCOMPETITIVE. THE INTERCONNECTIVENESS OF AMERICAN & EUROPEAN BANKS.
