ASSUMING that the economy recovers and America goes back to work--- |
|
is it not essential that we start breaking up all these "too big to fail" corporations? Should we not redistribute our eggs into quite a few more baskets?
And, in view of noises emanating from SCOTUS, should we not legislatively establish that, no, corporations are not people and have no constitutional rights?
And, just to get us off to a running start, let's re-enact the Fairness Doctrine. That should reduce registered Republican voters substantially, due to all the exploding heads.

1. We need millions of good jobs. |
|
Where they will come from I have no idea. There are millions of Baby Boomers who are unemployed and underemployed with good skills and advanced degrees that have been thrown on the scrap heap.
They need far more stimulus and jobs than they are providing. We need a whole new WPA. For artists, writers, musicians, all sorts of jobs.
