Where are we going with the oil situation?

People use to dream of coming to America to experience the great American dream. However, such dream has certainly changed due the fact that many are suffering from a nightmarish experience. If we don't fix our economy, soon we won't hold the honor of being the leading economy in the world.
Food prices have skyrocketed over the past years. If the shaky economy is not stablize soon, the entire world will crumble, because many countries depend heavily on the US economy. It's being suggested that corn ethonol will be used as fuel, but it's not a sustainable product. As a result of the pending food crisis throghout the world,the need for food is greater than the need for fuel. There would be people starving due to the lack of corn.It takes the same amount of corn to feed one person for a year and the same to fill a car's tank. People would be starvings in places like Africa. There need to be a better plan in place to deal with the fuel issue, maybe we nee to take a closer look into drilling our own oil.
