1) The economy

2) Jobs

3) The criminal banks/ Bullshit Mortgage crisis

This a solution and idea thread, not a bash and trash thread. Please... :toast:

 

[Lumi]

Nobody has any ideas or real solutions to the problems that plague the country?

 

[SKEETER1]

1. Close the Borders
2. Defund and repeal Obama Care
3. Institute a flat tax
4. Privatize the regulation of Wall Street
5. End Affirmative Action
6. Liquidate Tarp
7. Impose Tariffs on China
8. Strike down anchor babies law
9. Use profiling to prevent terror attacks
10. Run the country like a business not an EMPIRE.

Skeeter,

these are all problems that need to be resolved, but it's like watching mens tennis.

They hit the shit out of the ball on the serve, maybe a return, then it's out.

These assholes in DC and the State Capitols accomplish nothing but lightening our money on fire.

100 tax write offs on medical insurance payments. Benefits business that provides it for employees or people who chose it themselves.
Increased ability to write off taxes on medical procedures and other expenses.
More, not less regulations on the type of businesses that got us into this crap. Mortgage, banks, etc.
Tariffs on countries that are below our standards. Funny thing about free trade is that when it is with countries with a living standard below ours is that it does raise theirs to a certain degree but it lowers ours except for a select few. Weighted average if you will.
Easing of prohibition laws on certain drugs. Caveat being harder laws on DUIs.
Get out of Afghanistan. Have we learned nothing from history there?
That is it for now.

The country is not a businerss and should not be run like one.

We have to take our country back. The fact that one percent control 36 percent of the money is a problem.

CEO pay went from 32 tiimes ave worker to over 500 times. That money was taken away from the middleclass and given to the rich. The rich ain't spending it. The Middle class would of spent that money.

Get out of the middle East. Let them fight it out and we can deal with the winner.

Close the border.

Let the banks fail and start over. Rewrite mortgages to reflect the current value of homes.

People need money in order to spend it.

 

[Lumi]

All great ideas !

This is what I wanted, hopefully we can get together as angry, pissed off AMERICANS, a commonality amongst us all. Something we discovered once we dropped the gloves and stopped calling each other names.

I really hope that everyone that comes to this thread to either reply or just read comes to the conclusion the the Right and the Left are one in the same and controlled by Wall Street.

Now comes bouncing in Beck and Palin's Tea Party, Oi Fucking Vey !

Good Luck with that. :0074 AN organization backed by Faux News and Rupe Murdoch.

The Texas Model

By Rich Lowry

Texas already looms large in its own imagination. Its elevated self-image didn't need this: More than half of the net new jobs in the U.S. during the past 12 months were created in the Lone Star State.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 214,000 net new jobs were created in the United States</SPAN> from August 2009 to August 2010. Texas created 119,000 jobs during the same period. If every state in the country had performed as well, we'd have created about 1.5 million jobs nationally during the past year, and maybe "stimulus" wouldn't be such a dirty word.
What does Austin know that Washington doesn't? At its simplest: Don't overtax and -spend, keep regulations to a minimum, avoid letting unions and trial lawyers run riot, and display an enormous neon sign saying, "Open for Business."
