Hope of the Nation

We need to have universal health care for all. That would be much cheaper than the insurance companies spending so much money trying to avoid paying benefits to people who really need it. Also the physicians would not have to make so much since the cost to insure them from liability would be substantially less. We need to bring the troops home and train them to be builders, contractors, carpenters, engineers and metal workers to rebuild the schools, bridges, roads, water and sewer systems of this country. Our infrastructure is falling apart. We need to rebuild with conservation and environmental consciousness at the forefront of our thinking. We need to create some serious economic solutions to the financial crisis in the home mortgage and commercial mortgage sector. Then we need to make an education a right and not a privilege since most of our college grads have what constitutes a home mortgage with tuition debt. That is ridiculous and burdens our citizens immensely by creating so much debt before they even begin to be productive in the work place. That is a vicious scheme on the part of institutions to support the credit card industry of banks to put a heavy yoke on the necks of the young. Then we need to address the flagrant disrespect and meanness on the part of our citizens who do not care about other people and mostly act selfishly and aggressively toward their neighbors. We are a violent nation and have tolerated and passively supported acts of aggression against women, against families and neighbors. We need a different kind of law enforcement that actually is an example of working differences out without violence. We need many more law enforcement officers in our cities. We could use thousands of our troops coming home who could be trained to take these positions in society and it would be less expensive than this insane billion a day wars. We also need to quickly become energy efficient and energy independent so that we do not have to fight with other nations over oil, gas, water or any other commodity. We need to be resourceful and use the natural solar, wind and hydro energy that is abundant on our own soil. I pray that our citizens open to the realization that we have to do things very differently than we have in the past and we have to make very big changes and we have to do immediately.
