$100 billion/year: tax cuts for 1% or solutions for all?

by A Siegel

"Yes we can!"

Sadly, no we haven't.

Not that the Obama Administration with the support (and urging) of a Democratic House of Representatives and the drag of a Democratic controlled (???) Senate haven't tried to do tremendous things.

Note that, for the most part, President Obama has filled the Administration with competent -- incredibly competent --, dedicate, and ethical people who are interested in working diligently to solve real problems.

Sadly, no we haven't had the true simplicity and clarity of message that "Yes we can" ... "Hope" ... "Change" all represented in 2008.

Clarity, simplicity, stickiness lead to SUCCESs ...

Alan Grayson understands that.

And, looking to Grayson leads to a question: How would you spend $100 billion / year to help create solutions?

JOBS! JOBS! JOBS! The political, economic, climate solution ...

by A Siegel

Since before the 2008 election, the core challenge for the incoming President was clear: JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!  

Yes, we were amid a collapse of the economic system, it required stabilization. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!  

Yes, our energy situation was (is) a mess and the climate is boiling. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!

Yes, our political system is broken. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!

Yes, our health care is a mess. JOBS! JOBS! JOBS!

What is amazing is that sensible JOBS focused action can help on all the other fronts and set the stage for stronger action tomorrow.
