Currently, government spending for education is undergoing budget cuts while many rising nations pass the United States in quality of education. How can we expect to maintain our current economic global standing, while dropping education initiatives?

Promoting education can help students understand and combat current and future issues such as obesity, public health care, and sustainability. We need to invest in the country's future instead of lamenting over "the problem with kids these days."

Currently energy is very cheap. Of course gas prices are going up, but energy to power, heat, light our homes is very cheap. There are no incentives for the average household with an average education and sensitivity to energy and environmental policies to take action. The impact is virtually imperceptible. A policy to reward the average homeowner beyond only incremental energy cost savings who either chooses to buy wind energy credits or install solar panels or choose other alternative fuels. This may be tax credits or other benefits to incite and propagate simple yet effective measures in the mainstream.

Small businesses should be given a tax break (tax rate cut) for 2 years so they can make investments towards growing their business.

We need a policy that puts more capital in the hands of small business owners immediately.

After all, we are a force in the economy that cannot be ignored and we have been ignored long enough.

Small business are the engine of the American economy and we do not see any type of direct economic stimulus assistance being offered to small businesses.

One idea is to offer a 3 year tax break of about 25% so that small businesses can make investments of their choice rather than the government telling us where we need to spend to get tax breaks.

This type of policy has worked very well in other countries.
