"The American National Transportation System Solving the unemployment Problem in America" If you are concerned about the unemployment problem in America, or about the national debt, or the dwindling value of your money and want to do something about it, then read on.This book is about a project that will create millions of direct and indirect jobs and reinvigorate our manufacturing and transportation industries. The American National Transportation System adds to our current transportation capabilities and transports not only people around our country but also energy and communications. It is a bold but simple idea about a project that puts existing technologies together to accomplish this, in an economical and environmentally friendly manner. It will spur innovation and technology; provide purpose and reasons to seek knowledge in the mathematics and engineering fields. It provides not only JOBS for American workers, but opportunities.Does it sound too good to be true? Well, one way to
