Energy

With conflict raging in the middle east, the energy sources that we have relied on for so long are in jeopardy.  High taxes on imports cause working families to have to pay more for necessities, such as gasoline.  Texas Representative Ron Paul and President Barack Obama, surprisingly, have similar views on this topic.  Paul, as always, defends the free market and favors as little government interference overseas as possible.  He plans to reduce the import of oil from the middle east and use our own plentiful sources here on our own soil.  Obama claims to support this view as well, planning to shift to renewable energy if reelected.
