You are the President. You can make one major decision that
will improve civil aviation in America.

What would you do?

Hi Bob,

Hi.

I would take immediate action and do the following:

1) seal the borders... whatever it takes, its a national security matter.
As president I have taken an oath to protect and defend this country
from such a potentioal threats. 911 happened because the government
failed in its obligations to know who was here, if they were here legally
and what they were doing. The result affected aviation greatly and
the economy in general. Until we get this situation under control the
border must be protected. A country with no borders is not a country.

2) Provide clear leardership in the quest to be more energy independent.
This means doing a number of things in concert and immediately not
giving lip service. We need to explore and develop our own oil reserves
which will make us less dependent upon middle east oil, thus stabilizing
and putting downward pressure on world oil markets and putting Americans
to work. In tandem we need to build additional nuclear power plants
and a new refinery or two to reduce the bottlenecks in distribution.
Reduce the mirad of laws requiring so many dofferent blends of gasoline
to increase efficiencies and reduce costs. The cost of fuel has a
major and direct impact on aviation, and our depences on foreign oil
and propensity to do NOTHING empowers foreign roque governments with
the net result that we end up being held hostage to our owm ineptitude.

3) Reduce the size of government immediately. Every dollar that the US
government sucks out of the economy is less people have to spend at
their own discression and thus hurts the economy, aviation business
included.

What would you do?

Address the soaring fuel costs that are crippling GA by declaring an
"Energy Emergency" in America.

1. Single Grade Auto Gasoline. Acknowledge the fact that our own
government has contributed greatly to the energy problem. Mandate
that, henceforth, there shall be but one grade of gasoline (as opposed
to the dozens mandated by State and Federal -- and sometimes local --
law) produced in America.

This would mean no more subsidized corn-based ethanol. No more
"reformulated anti-pollution grades" of gas that are only sold in
counties near big cities. Just good old unleaded regular.

2. New Oil Refineries. As part of this emergency, waive all Federal
and State laws that are effectively prohibiting the construction of new
oil refineries. Get the Army Corps of Engineers to work with the top
three oil companies, and immediately begin construction of four new
refineries, with the goal of bringing them on-line as quickly as
possible.

3. Domestic Oil Reserves. Waive all Federal and State laws prohibiting
the development of our own vast oil reserves. The needs of "We the
People" need to be placed ahead of "They the Tree Huggers" --
preferably BEFORE none of us can afford to fly. (Or drive, for that
matter.)

4. Nuclear Power. Waive all Federal and State laws that have
effectively prohibited the construction of new-technology nuclear power
plants in America for over 30 years. Mandate that fossil fuels may no
longer be used to produce electricity in America by the year 2010.

5. Open Yucca Mountain. Cut through all the frivolous litigation that
has purposefully stalled the safe storage of our nuclear waste for over
a decade. Order the immediate transport of all nuclear waste into safe
storage, preferably BEFORE one of those barrels of nasty stuff (that is
currently being stored in your neighborhood, instead of where it
belongs) rusts apart completely.

In my opinion, these five steps would help to address the soaring costs
of energy by streamlining production and reducing demand. To his
credit, Mr. Bush has been working along some of these lines...but too
timidly, I fear, to be effective.

There is a thread over on "Cherokee Chat" entitled "Where is everyone?"
It was started by some of the lucky few pilots who were still able to
partake in their weekend hamburger runs, despite avgas topping $4.00
(and $5, in some places) per gallon. They were asking why, on such a
beautiful VFR weekend, they were the only ones flying?

That is our future, my friends, if something doesn't change.

Well stated Jay. Unfortunately your ideas ar far too
logical and based on concrete laws of economics and
free market principles. Taking immediate action on
those things would in fact work, hence they will not
be supported by democrats (and maybe most of the republicans
in the senate) because they don't want to any problems
actually solved because it would make their jobs appear
unecessary (at least to the uneducated who listen to them).
