For every dollar we do not send overseas, financial institutions create 10 dollars in circulated wealth. It's not just not sending it overseas, it's a direct injection of capital into our economy.

If you want prosperity stop bleeding our national net worth to finance terrorism.

If you want clean air stop using 82% of the fuel you consume creating pollution.

How much more would you pay?

Now about nothing.

How much more maintenance and component replacement costs would you endure?

How about less than you spend now.

I worked on them for a living for 60,000 hours.

I can probably name every part on a car by sight, except some of the electronic stuff that now comprises most of the change in cars.

Most of the power train components have not changed significantly in my lifetime.

It's all obsolete and has been so for at least 5 decades.

Rip apart a truck differential from today, and one from 1950. They are the same.

Rip apart a transmission from those two eras, basically the same.

Pull an engine apart, basically the same.

It's about to change and it may happen a lot faster than you think.
