Unemployment and Arctic National Wildlife

ANWR Will Save Our Economy As Americans we all are knowledgeable of the recession that is present within our country. There have been thoughts and ideas about how to correct this downfall to make a turn for the better. One of the strong ideas of drilling for oil within our country has been a topic of discussion. Up in Alaska in a deserted area called ANWR we know there is large amount of oil that has been resting underground untouched. Financially the United States could drilling for oil developing a huge investment and turn our economy around for the better; within this investment we will create jobs, revenues for state and federal funds, and cut cost on import spending. Many Americans are in search of jobs and unable to obtain a source of income. According to NBC news “7.8% of Americans are unemployed as of Sept 2012”. If drilling in ANWR occurred the national resource committee says, “Would create tens of thousands of American jobs and contribute to significant economic growth”. This investment as Americas would be nothing but beneficial towards each other. It would be satisfying the unemployed who will then have an income; the newly employed will have money to spend and give back to eventually improve the economy. The state of Alaska and the Federal department will also see a massive improvement in their finances, being able to tax and charge fees to the companies creating this business. According to ANWR.org, “Royalties and taxes are estimated @$100per barrel to be between $84.6-237.5 billion”. As the elite county in the world we depend on others to often, according to the eia “Oil imports are the single largest contributor to our national debt”. Overall, this idea of drilling within our county will benefit each and every American financially.
