2. Why don't we have a better railway system. Why don't we have networks of bullet trains in certain parts of the country?

3. Why aren't you pushing a huge infrastructure rebuilding of this country – it's falling apart. Invest in America and put America back to work using American workers in American companies.

4. When a former oil tool like T.Boone Pickens is pimping wind power, why haven't you co-opted him yet and piggyback on what he's trying to do?

5. Brazill.
yes, I said Brazil

Third World Brazil is about to enter its 6th DECADE of being oil independent because they use a SUGAR-based fuel. Please explain to me how Brazil can be oil independent – with regards to fuel prices, and the USA can't?
