Prosperity And Security For America's New Century

The Triple Play

National Security – America can no longer afford to transfer trillions of dollars of wealth from the U.S. to China, the Middle East and other oil exporting countries, many of which support repression and fund terrorists. This not only endangers our service members, but further delays our conversion to a more advanced domestic energy and technology sector.

Economic Prosperity – America's way of life is at risk, we continue to borrow from China, depend on imported oil from abroad, and manufactured products from Asia, while producing less and less ourselves. The Middle East already holds half the world's wealth beneath its sands, and China will soon surpass America as the world's largest economy, if we don't act wisely. We believe that America's prosperity is good not only for America, but also for the world.

Environmental Common Sense – Free enterprise is a powerful force for advancement. It is time that rather than shackling the free market with unnecessary restraints, we harness the free market to drive down pollution and waste. Internalizing the hidden costs of pollution through market based policies (like a direct price on carbon) are common sense solutions. The economy and environment don't need to be at odds. RLN supports policies that advance them both, together.
