I move the US discontinue the Empire and use the money for a national health plan |
|
and other services that will benefit the non-ultra-rich Americans.

2. I solidly endorse your proposal. |

It about time our country starts taking care of its people - instead of war, war, non-stop war.
I am so sick of war.

4. I think ideally everybody on this site would agree with this |

5. I agree - but you realize that without Empire, the US will need to completely... |
|
rebuild our Economy. It would (will???) make the Great Depression look minor.
It would be like a person bedridden for a year trying to hop out of bed - they have to learn how to walk all over again while rebuilding leg muscles.
Very painful.

8. We don't even need to do that. Just discontinue insurance companies |
|
--except for claims processing. Use the empire money to invent the next energy economy.
