Participant[quote=Allan from Fallbrook]peterb: I mentioned something similar to this on another thread when I said I thought we’d see a return to 1930s style WPA-type projects (i.e. infrastructure related goverment spending on a very large scale).
The US infrastructure is in a dire state, and it will probably take massive amounts of government spending (a la what occurred during FDR’s reconstruction programs, WWII, or the Japanese government programs of the 1990s) to turn things around.[/quote]
Maybe be are due for a New Deal type of initiative. But this time it should be focused on achieving energy independence.

ParticipantThere’s really nowhere left to go but down. Uncle Sam is pretty much tapped out. More debt would crush the US Dollar and keeping Treasuries low decreses our ability to sell debt. What’s left?
Maybe the govt could declare a tax free status to all alternative energy companies…stimulate an industry that’s got a future?
