For the last eight years we have tried to "redistribute" by pouring billions into the finance industry, hoping it would "trickle down" to the rest of us.
The republicans always try this stuff---it never works!

What we need to do is:

Build some energy projects; have first class roads; destroy and rebuild old dams and bridges; build new water reservoirs (GA certainly needs 2-3); repair or burn all of the foreclosed houses and shopping centers; open hundreds of satellite medical clinics within 25 miles of a fully equipped hospital--pay the help like England does, and keep everyone well; cleanup the streams where we have allowed industry to pollute; rebuild the military back to several million "boots" each properly equipped to survive---reinstate the draft for everyone, absolutely no exceptions, teach them how to work and send them home or to school according to their abilities.
Re-do the officer's corps in the military away from a place from which to retire to one of service to country with promotions based upon attitude, ability, and desire--rather than automatic promotions with fake fitness reports. Civilians do the desk work, soldiers do the soldiering. (that means cooking for themselves, cutting each others hair, washing their own clothes, and NO HALIBURTON!

I'd love to see a bunch of CCC camps in some of these foreclosed neighborhoods, doing some of this stuff!

To heck with the AIGS, the car companies, and all other companies who don't make a product to use or sell! (HERE)

... When the Feds gave the few strings attached 700B bailout?

They're all guilty!!!

And it ain't just term limits. It's special interests. Even dear ol' Lynn ain't immune, though he might be better than most.

If we could seal off the lobbyists (a bounty on their heads perhaps?) we MIGHT be able to get Washington back under control in a decent time frame. Until then, fuhgedaboutit.
