Congressman from Utah that I most agree with is [|Jim Matheson]

The 3 issues that are most inportant to me are:


 * __-Economics-__** Our economy right now is for the most part failing. People are losing their jobs. More ,and more buisnesses are filing for bankrupcy. This in my opinion is one of the major issues that we must fix. Otherwise We are on downhill road. My plan to fix this is simalar to our presidents plan. We must raise and furthur give that money to these failing buisnesses. My origanal plan was to print more money, but that would cause iflation and that would be an even bigger problem than the one we have now.


 * __- Environment and Energy-__** This is one of the issues that is affecting the world. Slowly we are losing our supply of fossil fuels (gas). Gas is the fuel for almost all of the transportation now. So as we run out the more the gas is going to cost, and the less time we have to figure out a new source. My plan to fix this is to find a source that is enviormentaly friendly, and its a rewneable resource. Possbly water, or solar energy.


 * __- Healthcare-__** This is my main issue that is affect our entire nation and its people. Our healthcare today isnt avalible to all of our people. The unemployed, homless,and possible elders can not afford health care. Somthing that comes to some Americans. My plan is to lower the cost of healthcare, and make it easy to obtain to the unemployed, homless and elders.

My bill is- HB 88
