Like we had during WWII, we have to issue infrastructure bonds.
We need to issue zero-coupon bonds from 5$ to 100,00$ with a 10yr maturity dates and with a reasonable payout.
Let's get our House and Senate leaders and get this jobs function. Call all your contacts and start a plan for "Fitit" bonds.

I'm saying if we sit around and wait for the GOP to "fitit" nothing will ever get done.

We also need some WPA type jobs program on the agenda of the House and Senate.

(34,648 posts)6. I actually kinda agree with you
We need to put up plans so that folks are sad when the gop kills them immediately.

People don't expect a miracle but just some good options.
