Yellow: What Carter thinks is really hurting America is that we don't have any confidence anymore. The deaths of past leaders during the years of the 60's and 70's have taken big chunks from the American society. He says that we have become to dependent on goods from foreign countries. He says that we are losing the confidence that America has everything that we need already in our own country. I believe that these problems are with us today. Many people that I know have confidence problems, and it has an effect on the entire American Population. It start's as a few people and then turns into a large amount of people.
Red: Carter says that the American people have gotten lazy with their practices. The upcoming generations he can tell the kids will not care about school, government, even working hard for the things they love. They will want thing's given to them. Also people are starting to change in the fact that everyone is judged on the material things. It's not about what is inside a person. It's about how rich you are and what you can buy and show off.
Green: Both of the plans want to cut down on the use of foreign oils. They want to show that we have enough resources in America to use it for the American people, and for people around the world. It may be a long process but it will help get America out of the debt that it is in, and also bring in money from other countries. On paper, it's a "win, win" situation. Carter wasn't concerned about how good it would be for the environment, unlike President Obama who has become president in the midst of a global warming crisis, is focused on not only good for Americans, but good for the environment also. President Obama wants to create more job's for the people of America. Whereas back in the late 70's and early 80's job's were not as big of a problem for America.
