How about improving our infrastructure?
That might have been a good idea when the country wasn't trillion of dollars in debt, and that debt growing every day. What's happening to all that money? What happened to all those 'shovel ready' jobs that were supposed to be there? Even Obama had to laugh at that joke.
You're talking as though you want good and responsible government that will balance budgets, maintain the infrastructure, and so on, and then elect a wastrel with no experience whatsoever. What can Americans actually expect from someone like Obama? If you don't vote in serious people you won't have serious government. Instead you wanted celebrity government and now complain about the lack of infrastructure.
It's hard to have any sympathy.
Construction jobs. How about increasing the park rangers and visitors bureaus to national parks? how about increasing the number of Social Security offices and staff to meet the increasing needs of the baby boomers applying? How about creating federal mental health facilities in each state and filling them full of staff?
Again, the government is $17,000,000,000,000 in debt and that number is growing every day. What are you going to pay all these people with? When a company is broke is their response to hire more people? That only happened in Obamaworld. It's time to get real.
Where to get the money? Borrow it? Print it?
How about closing the 750 overseas bases in 36 countries used to protect American multinational companies from the striking workers?
They are not used for that purpose but at least you have an idea, albeit a tad unrealistic.
How about stopping the building of obsolete weapons?
Great
How about demanding that the weapons built overseas by foreigners for our MIC be done here?
Perhaps but they may then be more expensive and further debts created.
How about stopping welfare subsidies to corporations?
You call them 'welfare subsidies' but, as you know, corporations are leaving, subsidies or no. At one time America was a great place to invest but today, not so much. Instead you should be asking yourself how to attract more business.
How about returning to taxes for corporations and individuals to the Eisenhower era?
How about spending what they did during the Eisenhower years and diminishing the size of government as well, and returning to the habits of personal responsibilities of the Eisenhower years. The Americans of today are a shadow of what they were during those times so your suggestion is quite impossible. The American character has beome too diminished.
The money spent in good paying middle class jobs will create a demand for more goods and services and increase the number of private sector jobs. It's been done before. To successful results.
The conditions in America today are unique to America today. The family is dying out and personal responsibility along with it. People like Barrack Obama claim "Wall Street", "Rich Bankers" or "Corporations" are the villains when it is actually the American people themselves who are to blame. And that weakness is further demonstrated when they whine and complain, like juveniles, that it is all somebody else's fault.
