I don't think anyone can speculate what will happen with respect to oil prices and gas prices because they are set on the global economy.

I think we need to significantly reduce the regulatory burden on the private sector. The Obama administration is doing the opposite. They're loading on more and more regulation on the private respect to how the economy functions.

Let me say again that the relationship is asymmetrical: there's no democracy without a market economy but you can have a market economy without democracy.

The coal industry is an even larger part of the Australian economy than it is of the American and it has an enormous amount of political power.

You want a culture where citizens are free to express themselves and so live in the openness necessary to the functioning of a successful economy? Israel has a free press much of it openly hostile to the parties in power.

It is in war that the State really comes into its own: swelling in power in number in pride in absolute dominion over the economy and the society.

That would be positive for the economy too.

If we can produce more ethanol and bio-diesel to help fuel our vehicles we will create jobs boost local economies and produce cleaner burning fuels. This will keep dollars here at home where they can have a positive impact on our economy.
