Production Possibilities

In 1975 there sparked a debate over the land in Alaska.  Should the wilderness be drilled for oil, or should it be preserved for national Parks.  Earlier in 1939 Richard Hill states that, “One American in six was out of work.”  Later in 1980 Congress declared that one hundred millions acres of land would be designated for national parks and wilderness area.
In the year 1979 I ran cut off America from oil which made Americans worry about being dependent on foreign countries.  This is why the debate over whether to drill Alaska to produce are own oil was a good option or not.  A man named Don Young argues that we should use stop being so greedy.  Moris Udall on the other hand believed that parks bring about a “spiritual feeling and lifts people up.”  Douglas Scott also bring about the point that, “People in future generations will be outraged if we destroy everything natural about this planet” and just for economic gain.
On May 16, 1979 the Alaskan Land Act was passed.  This doubled the national wildlife areas and shutdown the idea of using it for minerals and oil.  We will now back track to the 1930’s.  The 1930’s were the time of the great depression and when the stock market crashed.  In 1939 World War II had began and the U.S. claimed they were not going to be involved.  However, sure enough they joined.  Robert Nathan played a major role.  He rationalized the war by saying that the U.S. must join due to the resources we needed in other countries.  By 1941 people were working over time at steel factories in order to produce the supplies the soldiers needed, this can only be described by saying the U.S. economy was also at war.  Production increased and by 1944 it was through the roof, over 40% of production went straight to the military, while the rest went to various other countries.
In the year 1942 Pearl Harbor was attacked which in turn made an altogether halt in the production of automobiles.  Now even the simple things were on ration such as food gas and practically everything else.  This alarmed the American people which had never experienced rationing.  They had become accustomed to having as much as they wanted of virtually everything.  Many Americans took to working harder and longer in order to help the economy go back to where it had been before.
“More money to spend, there’s not less to regulate on new technology and dust masks for employees” said B.W. Leonard.  The country was in a state of confusion.  They were now expected to work harder and longer for things which they had previously taken for granted.  “It’s not worth the money on something like that” said Eric Furrmen.  Soon after this statement was made OSHA was sued due to the reoccurring deaths that no one could seem to help.
Finally by June 1981, health became a major topic of concern.  Brown Lung Disease vanished and safety became a priority.  Everyone was forced to answer the question, jobs or safety?  Which one was more important?
