Top-Ten List (What I believe and Want)
Here's a list (shamelessly stolen from myself here inside this post) where I state what myTEN programs for saving our country are:
Now, the stuff I came up with (all inter-related, and dependent on each other):
In reviewing the past, and looking where we are today, I surmise that today, we need the following:
- A Massive Reconstruction (infrastructure) rebuilding project to repair the "Eisenhower Highway" system (and also make it TRANSIT and FREIGHT Friendly). See Green transit here.
- A Massive Job Training Program to ensure full employment and the ability for workers to work for an honest dollar, and learn a trade that will keep them employed.
- A new, "Living Wage", not to be confused with today's minimum wage (which may be renamed as an "introductory" or "entry level" wage.
- A new federally paid system of day care
starting at six months, to make our nation more competitive by
enhancing education as well as making our society more competitive.
- Ensure EVERY American has Health Insurance that is NOT tied to an employer. Phase in over X years (to over-ride opposition from the insurance lobby). Eventually becomes a 2-3 plan duopoly, overseen by the government.
- Just like the "Manhattan Project" that built the Atomic bomb, we need a new, massive ENERGY project (as our New president) stated that will eliminate our country's dependence on OIL within 10 years.
- Tax reform. Start Here: I call this the Millionaire's Minimum Tax. Make over 1 million in GROSS income last year (individuals OR corporations!) You pay a MINIMUM of 1%.
- Mandatory Job Training/Conscription/Community Service (whatever we call it EVERYONE will do it, either in Military or NON-Military options!
- Lobbying Reform. Need to eliminate pay to play.
- A Truth and Reconciliation Commission to uncover fraud, lies, and dishonesty in our society.
Education starts at pre-school, and will continue through to high school, and an introduction to the new national training/conscription programs. These programs will be designed to help with job training in someone's chosen field.
