One of the things I would like to propose to our team of

[Veggie Meathead]

Kerry and Edwards is to change the way the Bush Administration has been looking at the American people.Instead of seeing our people as liabilities who cost us money for health care, education, retirement and what have you, it is time that we look at our people as assets in need of development.This would radically change the way we view the costs of healthcare, education, retirement and housing.This is exactly how India and China are approaching their development.We who are far more advanced than these countries can do a lot better by investing more in our people so we can compete in the global economy.As more and more Americans gain skills and healthcare is removed as a major concern of small and large businesses, America
can compete easily with the new competitors.

1. The problem is the bidnessman administration

Every B-school grad, every grad of any associates' degree in management, is taught that personnel are liabilities. They have pat formulas to tell them when employees have been with them too long, and that it would be cheaper to train a new employee than to keep a long term employee. It's only a short hop to the philosophy that all a country's citizens are liabilities, debits on the balance sheet, consumers of precious resources.

In fact, I've heard some right wing parrots refer to anyone who works for a living and didn't inherit money as a "useless eater."

It's just another reason we need to rise up and repudiate this bunch any way we can, every way we have to.

Let's hope the vote gets rid of them.
