If the government embraces sustainability and green practices, and provides incentives for companies to do so, it will make U.S. businesses leaders and innovators.

The next president must get this war under control. There's no reason for us to be over there. Also green initiatives should be a priority on the agenda.

I doubt the US would not remain a top player in the world economy under any circumstances, barring some horrible apocalyptic scenario. So preventing a horrible apocalypse would be the one thing I guess.

We need to rebuild our ability to turn dreams and ideas into reality - through enhancement of education and training... See www.usfirst.org for information on FIRST - For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology and its impact on communities worldwide

You have 'green' business leaders doing sustainable business, the next president just needs to talk with Willian Foote, Jonathan Rosenthal and Paul Myers.

If we want to remain a world economic leader, we have to have tax policies that reward innovation and productivity. Even the Russians have gone to a flat income tax!

Leadership in the world starts with personal leadership. A country's standing in the world is finally a reflection of the effort its citizens have made in areas of personal responsibility, overcoming obstacles to living lives of purpose and meaning.
