The Democratic party has sometimes been criticized for not having a clear plan. I say the party should come out clearly in support of alternative energy research and Maglev. We all know peak oil is coming, and we need to be increasing alternative energy research, not decreasing as Bush has been.
As for Maglev, well, it goes at least 310 MPH, which will speed up transportation greatly, helping the economy. Shanghia has built a 20 mile line.
The Republican party is the party of the past, the Democratic party is the party of the future. See below for an actual picture of what the future looks like.
