The United States should give us one more stimulus package — to the middle class.
In all of the history of the U.S., the working class has always been the base foundation. In the last 10 years, the filthy rich have received about $5 trillion in tax cuts and stimulus packages that they put in their pockets.
It would be nice to build enough windmills to heat every home in the U.S., rich or poor. But like everything else, the poor will be left in the cold and only the filthy rich will benefit. Windmills will not run cars, trucks or moving equipment to build our roads, or provide food to feed our nation.
The U.S. and China are the biggest polluters in the world. China’s rivers have dangerous levels of pollution, and because of the Chinese current, this can affect Alaska’s gulf fisheries.
There are 100 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in Alaska — enough to supply the entire world for 100 years. The TransCanada Pipeline is planned to be only 30 inches in diameter, and will not process enough natural gas to help the middle class. In fact, it will create a supply and demand for natural gas.
When Alaska’s natural gas is finally on the market, it will have a welcome effect for all the gas consuming companies. For instance: trucking, construction, labor unions, taxi drivers, bus operators, hotels, factories, mainstay steel mill and health care industries. This, in return, will give employment opportunities to 10 million people.
When the fuel bill comes to the homes of the families, the bill will be 10 times smaller than their fuel bill today.
The U.S. needs Alaska natural gas to rebuild our country.
