If Obama Becomes President...Prepare to See "Radical" Economic Change. Think New Deal.
It's become obvious that our economy is so fucked up, that we need a new system altogether. Our recklessness was bound to come back and bite us in the ass sooner or later. But this is a HUGE opening for Obama if he becomes President to push through reforms that could NEVER have been passed before this crisis. And the folks blaming Americans for this are in the minority. Most know the problems lie with horrible Federal oversight (letting Big Business do whatever the hell it wants), cronyism, and the loss of American jobs.

I just want to know what happens to Free Trade, which is also a factor in what is going on. Will it become a thing of a pass? A product of a failed capitalist economy? Or will it remain, though downgraded and largely ineffective in a brand new capitalist system? The only way we get REAL change is if Obama becomes President. No way in hell do McJoke's economic handlers let him get away with something this fresh.

4. First make the Corporations pay their fare share of taxes. Close the damned loopholes
and reward companies who create secure well paying jobs in America and tax those who send the jobs out of the country.

Use the money to first have a single payer HEALTH CARE system.
We immediately save 27% over paying the parasitic corporations their blood money.

Second rebuild every decayed road and bridge in America flooding the country with new high paying jobs and more tax income.

Third begin building Wind Solar Tidal and geothermal electrical sources as well as the electrical transportation system to move that power from where it is to where it is needed. Again flooding the country with new high paying jobs and more tax income.
