After November, after you Take Back Our Country and Reclaim Your Honor...what's the plan for:
* the economy
* the Middle East
* public education
* health care
In a perfect world where Glenn Beck can dictate, what are the solutions you are so eager to see take hold? Or is defeating Obama and the Dems the whole enchilada for you?
Lay it on me...what else ya got?
The Economy: Creating Jobs is job one. Targeted tax cuts makes sense, cutting taxes on the 'money changers' makes absolutely no sense. Sensibly reducing the red tape for small business makes sense, but most regulations which effect the bottom line of small business are local rules, fees and taxes.
First, too big to fail cost us dearly. Banks at one time were chartered to do business in only one state, so local bankers were the norm. Today mega-banks are the problem. Make them choose which state they want to operate in and have them divest all interest in the other forty-nine. YOU can do your part, use only credit unions and local banks.
Next, our dependence on foreign oil is killing our economy, our environment and providing a source of income to terrorists. We need to look anew at the new genertion of Nuclear Reactors, fund solar, wind and geothermal sources of electricity production and invest in light rail to move commuters from home to job and back.
Targeted tax credits to consumers who purchase electric and hybrid vehicles. Supply will increase as demand increases and the price do to competition will reduce.
The ME: Why are we spending Billions of our tax dollars in the middle east. Nation building in Iraq maybe successful, but likely not in the lifetime of those alive today on the planet. Islam may very well destroy itself, IF they don't have a reason to hate the west. By reducing our need for their oil, and dumping aid to their poor, isn't it likely they will turn on each other?
Iran is a problem, but they are in Russia's neighborhood, not ours. Let us work closely with Russia, and China too to prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear state. In is not in Russia or China's interest, for they too have their problems with RW Muslims.
So the answer to the ME problems are diplomatic and economic; the military soluton is nothing more than a wet dream for neo-conservatives.
Public Education: Back to basics. Reading, Writing, Commputing and Critical Thinking. We should not subsidize private schools, nor should we allow anti-social behavior to curtail learning.
Not every child should be tracked for a university degree; as our society become more specialized we must begin to track kids into programs which fit their interests, talents and the needs of society and the business community.
Once competent in basic skills, testing, interest inventories and skills assessments ought to provide an opportunity for kids and parents by grade nine to suggest an appropriate track. Of course any child can change, and notwithstanding the choice made at 14, the skills learned in Secondary School sould be sound and sufficient to allow for success at the University level, given the requisite native ability.
At the primary level behavior problems need to be addressed. Parents need to be offered a basic "parenting skills" class and given a clear message that specific behavior will be referred to social services or the juvenile court (all parents, verbally and in a written document).
Health Care: I believe health centers should exist in each and every Congressional District in America. Some are large, and mobile units may be necessary. Health centers should provide free (tax payer funded) preventative health care (shots, physicals), health care education including aids to stop smoking and help in eliminating other 'bad' habits (Alcohol, drugs, obesity) and advice on nutrition and exercise. Conraception and pregnancy avoidance should be available for free, as well as information on disease, sexual and otherwise.
Okay, now the echo chamber can respond with idiotgrams and 'conservative' platitudes.
