Again, I ask you what makes up the greatest proportion of the US trade deficit? And what is this incoming president going to do about it? Yes... you win a cookie... It's oil. And Bush is going to come on strong while the "energy gods" are with him, starting apparently with a major energy summit early next spring to develop and coordinate policies that will reduce US short and long term energy dependence. After people get a load of how drastically their gas and electric bills have increased this winter, they won't be hard to convince either. Btw, oil imports amount to some $11 Billion per month as of June,2000 figures. Regards, Ron
