That means paying for environmental cleanup. That means paying up front for a constant military presence in the Middle East. In other words, pay as we go rather than simply borrowing money that our great grandchildren will have to pay back.A "free market" would also allow consumers to choose fuels other than gasoline for their cars. We have some of the largest natural gas deposits on earth right here in the United States, as well as the capacity to make renewable fuels such as biodiesel, yet it is virtually impossible for the automotive consumer to purchase a vehicle that uses these fuels.</blockquote>
