Common sense ideas !

If you really really want people to be put back to work, create policies that help them.

1. Health care. I know is is a great money making enterprise for health care providers, and insurance companies, but that money is coming out of our pockets and it is unnecessar­y. If we had a health care system that charged the prices of our closest competitor­, we would save 800 billion dollars a year as a nation. This is effecting our competitiv­eness compared to the rest of the world.

2. Taxes. Everyone should pay their fair share, including the rich.

If small business gets caught up in a tax increase, maybe they should incorporat­e. It would be the smart thing to do for libility anyway. We must stop all of these tax havens and we must also have an import tax on goods coming in as large as the country they are coming from.

3. Contstrain lobbying. The government is supposed to represent US! As citizens we must demand a stop to all of this money being used to influence our elected officials.  This is starting to become a joke.

4.  We mu stdemand that our elected leaders only take a pledge to follow the Constitution.  These pledges to policies or deities,

5.  As a people we must stop getting our news from talking heads on the radio or TV.

6.  We must spend money to make money. Now our Government is just throwing our money away. They must spend money on projects that improve our infrastructure'
