Although I do not speak for the members of the 99 Movement, with the Media Establishment scrambling to peg hole this grassroots movement like they did the Tea Party, might I suggest to the civil leaders of the 99 Movement that they assert their civil and constitutional rights to prove they can build a better world. For while the Tea Party might claim they want smaller government and less federal spending. I do believe Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders can quickly dismiss those ideas since they never get to the root of the problem; however, by gently seating down Pandora’s Box between Americas’ Elected Officials and Elders today I do believe based on their agreement to disagree as well as the 99 Movement edification on the subject can build a Better America and Global Culture and Economic System can avoid the problems which lead to two World Wars and endless military conflicts.

Now it might be hard to explain why some of the Wealthy in the1970’s believed by increasing the wealth of others in society would somehow lead to more citizens understanding the advantages of giving the Poorest Human in Earth the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent. Nevertheless, given the words of folks like Republican Presidential hopefully Mr. Cain spoken these past weeks I do see how even today that common ground will be hard to establish.  So why Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders work to resolve the issue of Wealth among its taxpayers; confidently the 99 Movement and the Tea Party grassroots groups can work together over the next 100 years in getting the average citizen to understand why it is in their Inherent Best Interest to earn a penny more than they can spend in their lifetime.

Yes, with so many topics to speak out against and so little time to write about how the 99 Movement and Tea Party can become a political vehicle which can dampen the political Outrage found in our parents and grandparents politically points of view. I find myself lost at the amazing things that can be discussed at the public square without trespassing on others guaranteed civil and constitutional rights. Because why I may never agree with My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s Ideology of a Better World nor ever accept Americas’ Democratic and Republican Leadership of protecting Mans’ Unalienable Right to remain Ignorant. After living a lifetime antagonizing all Authority known and unknown to Man and Woman I do believe one of the esteemed gift the Generations of the 20^th Century can hand down to the Generations of the 21^st Century is why the Guaranteed Civil and Constitutional Rights we learned as children has kept us destroying the Universe we call Home.

Aware of the confusion surrounding the idea that every corporation is a person in the eyes of the law, I do believe it is easier if one says that every citizen is a corporation. And even though I can’t legally explain why the courts ruled that way except to say it is written down somewhere. I do know that every American has the right to earn money separate from the wages paid by Private Commerce and Industry. Besides, since fools and jerks come from all walks of life as well as who is to say what proper etiquette s govern Ladies and Gentlemen. I do recognize that my elders and peers find it easier to debate between the “Have and Have Not’s” or the “Rich and the Poor” than to deal with the Civil Fact that it is the duty of “We the Corporation” to help each other develop economically viable and financially independent customers.

Now why “We” instead of “I” when Individual Rights are paramount is simple considering that no person in their right mind would allow the creation of a corporation with the sole intent of eliminating all other corporations on earth. So when Republican Presidential Hopeful Mr. Cain claimed that he got his and if you didn’t get yours than it is not his fault simply does not hold water. Unquestionable he has made millions following societal policies, but at what expense to his fellow corporations? Because given that his employees, contactors, and community have not become economically viable and financially independent during the same time frame, one could make the case that Mr. Cain gathered his wealth at the expense of other Americans. Thus, given his current political position toward the common goal of Americas’ Corporation doesn’t one need to question his electability in 2012?

And though I try and not take sides in Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders debate. Given the fact the Democrats normally stand up for the Union Worker while the Republicans praise the Right to Work States I wonder if the same could be said if Americas’ Workforce decided not to take the jobs at the benefits and wages being offered? For why I support the Youth of Today movement to take over Wall Street peacefully, I do worry that corporations like Mr. Cain will attempt to sidestep the law by using their influence to rewrite the law to exclude the average American the Right to deny work. Since all one has to do is look at the laws today which stop enterprising young Americans that they cannot operate sidewalk lemonade stands.

Yes I am sure most of my elders and peers sadly will never recognize the true power of a corporation as will most of the Youth today; however, divided on the idea of how Americas’ Citizens and Corporations can work together to meet their common societal goals I do hope in the coming days that the Media Pundits will start pointing out those American and International Corporations who are willing to help “We the Corporation” win the Race to the Top and those corporations who for whatever reason still want to believe in the Old Days of denying their fellow corporations the same prosperity. For while it is a matter of Individual Thinking since Freewill will always trump mob rule, knowing no person is an island I do look forward to seeing how today’s American Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders deal with Today’s Youth understanding that they are Individual Corporations and have the Right to Work for those entities and institutions of government and society that support the common goal of giving every citizen/corporation the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent.

As Washington, Wall Street, and Main Street struggle with the issues facing the Nation I can see how many might look at Congress and wonder why they cannot seem to come ta compromise on what needs to be done in order to solve the problems. However, presented with the fact that Today’s Politicians are limited to protecting Mans’ Unalienable Right to be Ignorant I wish My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s good luck bridging the gap between the Youth of Yesteryear, the Youth of Today so the Youth of Tomorrow can enjoy the same guaranteed civil and constitutional rights bestowed upon us by our forefathers and ancestors. For though I see it as the Republicans and Tea Party wanting out of fear or greed to protect the Commerce and Industry of the 20^th Century, I see President Obama and the Democratic Party unable to gather the support of Commerce and Industry in the 21^st Century to be able to prove America can build a Green Sustainable Government and Society. And why they take those political positions for a reason, having made a promise the last time America and the World faced such a dilemma. I do hope the following fable will help My Community Elders and Peers realize the Youth of Today are in a much better position to build a Better World than their parents and grandparents were forty years ago. Especially since I know there is an America and World worth fighting for.

For fully aware there are still those in society who do not understand how an American Layman Citizen can stand up to “The Corporation” and Wealthy experts and lawyers in order to speak directly to Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders. I do hope they will seek out those in government and society who can explain it since the Laws of Man and the Laws of Nature forbids me from crossing that line. Because although I have grown up disagreeing with your Parents’ Ideology of a Better World and am still spending a lifetime coming to terms with why Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders have a hell-bent ideology of protecting Mans’ Unalienable Right to be Ignorant. I am encouraged to see their children have come to recognize that at some point even foolishness and stupidity is just plain wrong. Thus, why I cannot promise it will be their generation who will succeed in building a world where every Human is economically viable and financially independent considering the Youth of Today are smart enough not to allow me to bring to market a Zero Weight 100% Traction Electric Vehicle powered by man-made wind which has the capability to pay a 16 year old to drive up and down Main Street. I can demonstrate to My Elders and Peers that it is possible for “We the People” to do so using the tools given to us in Our Founding Documents.

Now, realize that the Members of Congress and the Leaders of Society operate on the ideology of Limited Energy and Limited Resources since no one has proven they have mastered perpetual motion. And while I am certain that it exists in Nature, I’ll let the Children of the 21^st Century explain to their Elders why Mans’’ Quest should be for “Endless Energy and Endless Resources instead of Unlimited Power and Resources. Because while Common Sense prevents me from exploiting those who look into the Unknown for answers, aware Nature has been making endless energy and resources for eons I do wonder just how far My Peers will allow the Children of the 21^st Century to go in building a better world. Because though I respect the things accomplished by oil over the last 100 years, I also recognize that other natural resources are being exploited by some as the energy of the next 100 years. However, given the fact the Members of Congress and Leaders of Societies need to look beyond the next fade I wonder if Today’s Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders can handle the ideology that the sun and wind will never end. As well as My Community Elders and Peers coming to terms with the ideology that energy and resources derived from the sun and wind are free to the masses and never be the sole property of one entity. For why I realize like flying cars the world might not be ready for everyone to own a Personal Renewable Power Plants constructed out of four wind mills and a wind tunnel in their backyard. The ideology does lend itself to solving the problems caused by Commerce and Industry.

For example; we hear the Democrats and Republicans cry that government spending is out of control even though the low tax rate has led to a budget deficit and the national debt growing rapidly over the last few years. However, the one thing we are not hearing is how to increase in Home Security expenses has added to the problem. In fact, certain that exposing the money we are spending on such items would do no good I wonder why the Tea Party would rather eliminate entitlement programs for the poor rather than require those needing the added security to pay for it. Because why I certainly have nothing against the airlines or those citizens who fly every day, I cannot support the idea of keeping the price of tickets low while telling those airline employees they will have to pay more for their standard of living while management continues getting big bonuses which need to be protected by Homeland Security. So why hasn’t the Media addressed this side of the story?

Than we have the economy quagmire. A problem brought about by the need to slow down consumption in order to regain control of the short and long term fundamentals of finance. And though Prudence will not allow me to go into exactly how I know these actions were taken. All one has to do is look back at the events before and after Katrina to see how America and Global Corporations were affected by the sudden change in banking and the higher cost of oil. However, knowing the problem goes back before 9/11 the question Congress and the Leaders of Society has to answer is very different. For aware that the latest PC, TV, or phone is no longer enough to drive consumers wildly to the stores and that higher prices for food and fuel are only adding to corporations being unable to peddle their goods and services. It is not only the need for jobs, but the jobs which will create enough income so the employee does not remain a burden on society that needs to be addressed by Congress. And here is where I have a problem with both political parties. Because while I’ll admit that Americas’ Infrastructure is in need of repair and replacement, I can’t see how the current highway contracting system insures employees will become taxpayers so they may share the burden. A position I might add that the Tea Party has overlooked in their opposition to President Obamas’ Jobs Bill. For how does one go about creating high paying jobs which make profit in a Global Economy where cheap labor and low overhead is King?

Nonetheless, one of the hardest difficulties facing this Congress and your parents is what resource will replace the oil they have grown up on. For why there is a strong move by some conservatives to keep America dependent on oil for the next forty years regardless of the cost to their children. I have not heard a convincing argument given by others on how their choice of resources can provide a long term inexpensive cost of energy. And while that lends itself to keeping the economy from growing and encouraging more debt as the wealth of America is redistributed around the world. The inaction of Congress to confront the Corporate Leaders of Energy leaves open a door which can be used by the average American today.

For like the Farmers of Yesterday who brought their crops to the city in order to sell them to the corporation so they could make a profit in order to pay taxes. Under current law and future farmers can harvest the energy of the sun and wind in order to sell their electricity to the corporation so they can make profit in order to pay taxes. Because although Americas’ Energy Companies might not be able to afford adding and replacing their current generator systems with solar and wind generator system and sell their electricity at a reasonably priced, with the rest of Americas’ Businesses needing a way to stay competitive in the global market while insuring the American Consumer keeps their high standard of living. Short of overcoming the natural political objections to individuals owning their own Renewable Power Plants in their backyard, I’ll allow your Community Elders explain how certain laws can allow the community to set aside land for such activity.

Because although I can’t promise the Children of Today that the Elders of the 21^st Century along with their older siblings and parents will allow them to build a government and society capable of making every Human on Earth economically viable and financially independent since the Elders of the 70’s along with the older siblings and parents of the Children of the 70’s limited their government and society to the sky. However, knowing that as of now no Corporation or Wealth can provide a guarantee that every Human need and desire can be met. I do hope that a 16 year old today can understand why it would not have been a good idea to give their parents the ability to get paid to drive up and down Main Street. For why the political goal is to build a Better World than those in the past, just as your parents and grandparents had to settle for a voluntary recycling program in the 1970’s in order to enjoy the system we have today. So we will see how Man will react to the need for more energy and money.

Given that now there should be no doubt about the ability of Humans to have a government and society which can provide every citizen with the opportunity to become economically viable and financially independent. And while Fear and Greed might prevent such radical ideology from swiping across the land, reminded that it took about a hundred years and a Civil War to end Slavery in America. I do hope the Youth of Tomorrow can convince their Elders and Peers that there is an America and World worth fighting for.

Why I am sorry for missing President Obama while he visited Raleigh N.C. yesterday. I do wish I would have had an opportunity to ask him the following question. For why he insists on calling his bill “The American Job Act” could it also be called “Americas’ Saving Act?” For though I realize the Media is focused on unemployment and believe the President and Congress should be talking about jobs, aware the opposition to the presidents’ bill is more worried about cutting federal spending than protecting the common good of the citizenry. I cannot help, but to think the American Job Act is an American Savings Plan designed to reduce the monthly expenditures of government while increasing its self-worth.

For smart enough to know a new bridge is worth more than a 30-40 year old bridge and that better roads will lead to commerce being able to move their goods and products as well as relieve traffic congestion. I do believe the one thing being overlooked in a big way is the ability to put Americans to work retrofitting not only our schools, but all local, state, and federal buildings in a manner which will make them totally energy efficient and independent from the National Power Grid. Because although I can’t find the data to give President Obama and the Members of Congress the amount of taxpayer dollars which can be saved over the next 10-29 years; however, I do recognize that if the Republicans and Tea Party are serious about cutting the spending of the federal government than putting Americans to work eliminating a monthly government expenditure while feeding the rest of the economy must be good for the Stockholders.

So while President Obama and the Media is busy trying to sell the American Job Act to Congress and Wall Street, I do hope the opposing Pundits in the Media are willing to ask the Members of the Republican and Tea Party if they are not going to support jobs which can save America money than how do they plan on supporting the American Corporations in making a profit? For hearing they are opposed to extending the payroll tax cuts and unemployment insurance. How do they think even the corporations who deliver the basic staples are going to sale their products. In fact, given the attack they have done on the public unions in America would I be wrong to say they want to see more American Consumers living below the poverty level?

So why I would have enjoyed asking President Obama if his American Job Act was not indeed an American Savings Act; however, having to work I hope others well see that why oil and energy companies might cry as they lose their government feeding tube. Other American Companies like Owen can demonstrate how their products and technology can move America forward to winning the Race to the Top. For why I can’t tell Congress what to do with the billions saved by taking all of Americas’ government buildings off line and even producing a small stipend to help in the overall budget. Can the opposition tell me the can’t put Americans back to work saving billions of the taxpayer dollar?

As a Child of the 70’s I recognize the President of the United States of America is the only citizen permitted to bring to the public pulpit a Bold Vision of Americas’ Great Experiment. As such I do wish the 2012 presidential candidates good luck in bringing my peers and their children a politically acceptable plan for the next forty years. For knowing America could quickly solve her debt and economic woes simply by tripling the income of Labor and Management. Looking forward to reading the Bold Visions of Americas’ 2012 Democratic and Republican Presidential Candidates, let me share with you the lessons and limits this Unlearned Unbridled Anti-Authoritarian Child of the 70’s by Freewill and Self-Nature.

For whether you believe in “Endless Resources” and Trickle-Up Economics or “Limited Resources” and Trickledown Economics the simply argument of “Pure Greed” and a few lessons from our ancestors should shine some light on why Political Correctness matters. Because given the choice to make $100.00 profit off of 10,000 customers or generate a penny profit from 6.4 billion customers, which one must the Market choose in order to keep its’ word that Greed Matters? And though that argument goes deeper; given that the growth of the global and national market is ever expanding who is to say “The Corporation” cannot serve the entire population of the Human Race in the 21^st Century.

And why there are those who will complain about the redistribution of wealth or 50% of the population doesn’t pay federal taxes, surely they know of the impact Henry Ford made on the Labor Movement of his time or his contributions to the industrial revolution of the 20^th Century when he by Freewill paid his employees enough to afford the products they were building. Besides all one has to do is to look at how increasing the minimum wage from$1.87/hour in the 1970’s to over $6.50/hours in the 1990’s lead to the largest economic boom in history. So with the past ten years seeing a decline in the Middle and Lower Class wages, which 2012 presidential candidate stand for America waiting another 20 years to see an economic boom or propose to work with Americas’ Commerce and Industry in figuring out how to increase the income of Labor and Management while still remaining competitive in the global market.

Now I’ll be the first to admit my peers and their children are probably not ready to build a government and society where every Human has the opportunity/responsibility to produce and sell their fair share of the energy used by Commerce and Industry or own a Zero Weight 100% traction electric vehicle powered by man-made wind capable of paying a 16 year old to drive up and down Main Street. Nevertheless, seeing how good the corporations of the 20^th Century was at cutting business expenses I do believe a presidential candidate would be wise to consider challenging the corporations of the 21^st Century to see how they could help the Consumer reduce their household expenses.

In fact, if I may be so blazon as to add to the challenge of the 21^st Century Corporation may I suggest developing products that goes as far as generating income for the household? For given that I realize there is a difference between a dream of a child and the duty and responsibilities of a parent. I hope Americas’ Democratic and Republican 2012 Presidential Candidates can raise above the spin of the media pundits and bring my peers and their children a politically viable Bold Vision of the Great Experiment. As I recognize the difficulty the President and Congress will once again face as they look to our Ancestors of the turn of the last century for inspiration. Nevertheless, I do believe and hope that in looking to solve the Issues of Mankind tomorrows’ politicians will understand they take an oath to serve the American Public and not the Charlatans and Vagabonds in Washington and aboard. So where are the Bold Visions of the 2012 Presidential Candidates which will allow my peers and their children to build a better world than the Youth of the 60’s and Silver Spoons of the 70’s?

If you look back at some of the ideas people had forty years ago about the future you might be lead to believe we would by driving flying cars and have robots doing the daily chores. And why have managed to have a robot sweep and mop the floor. It is in the workforce that we find the greatest change; however, considering back than there was a push to get every young citizen to go to college I do believe it may be the cause in the fall of public school system over the years. And though that leads us into asking what type of jobs will today’s politicians offer, knowing forty years ago it was about Doctors and Lawyers. The fact remains over half of the jobs offered by society still forcing many Americans and Citizens of Humanity to live in poverty. So as we hear the call of Jobs, Jobs, Jobs in the 2012 Elections, with the attack on entitlements are the Wealthy in America and Humanity willing to say which jobs they are willing to live without.

Because you see while those who go to college may have an advantage in pay, they could not have the standard of living without 50% of the population living in poverty. And though that may seem extreme or even barbaric in the 21^st Century, the alternative for most citizens would be unbearable. For imagine a regular hamburger at McDonalds costing $5.00 or a basic shirt costing you over $200.00, yet if we are to raise the standard of living for all Humans than what is a wage acceptable to everyone since making all jobs paying below the poverty level illegal. Could the Human Race live in such society? Thus, why I may not agree with my peers about forcing their children to become Doctors and Lawyers I certainly understand their argument.

However, as we listen to the 2012 Presidential Candidates brag about their Jobs Plan, keep in mind that even the President of the United States of America cannot overnight fix the poverty problem. Nonetheless, given the fact that the world will need many more specialists in the fields of science and math in order to advance in the 21^st Century shouldn’t we find a way in America to our public schools to allow high school graduates enter into the workforce which will come with such advancements?

And though Man for the foreseeable future need those citizens who wash the dishes and mows the lawns, speaking of jobs in the 21^st Century shouldn’t the plans submitted by the 2012 Presidential Candidates address the problem of corporations needing to exploit their labor just because the so called wealthy believe in cheap prices, For why it would take minds far greater than mine to figure out what wage and what profit is acceptable to ensure the lowest paid worker can live above the poverty line. I do believe America can come up with a political viable solution.

With Conservatives and Liberals being lead to debate whether solving the debt problem or solving the unemployment problem should take first priority in Congress, I do believe the Powers-that-Be are forgetting about the 800 lb. Gorilla in the room. For why it is certain that My Elders and Peers should not bequest to the next generation a $14 trillion dollar debt. It is equally true that My Elders and Peers cannot limit their children to the same employment structure they grew up with. However, the most important issue they most deal with is the energy source for the 21^st Century needed to achieve a Self-Sustainable World. Because no matter how much we cut government spending or create jobs, the simple fact that the 21^st Century will see limited resources of fossil fuel provides the Common Ground needed to bridge both the generational gap and the natural gap of Labor and Management in my humble opinion.

For though it would be wrong to ask Business Owners, Stockholders, and Management to give up their wages, it is equally a reality that lowering the wages of Labor will only lead to less profits for The Corporation and the Community they serve. And though I realize that it is hard for some people to understand why a corporation is considered a person, I do believe the fact that no matter how hard they try they can never be considered to be Human. Thus, sharing the common ground of being a citizen I do believe the ideology of each generation being able and capable of building a Better World through government and society should help My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s and their children lay the foundation required to keep the ideology of making every human on earth economically viable and financially independent a shining light of hope and inspiration.

So as we wait for the Bold Plans of President Obama and the other Presidential Candidates of the 2012 Elections, I hope my conservative and liberal pundits can look beyond the civil discourse of today in order to embrace what can be done to solve the Issues of the 20^th Century and help America an Humanity prepare for the Human and Natural Events of the 21^st Century. For although it is true that an event can destroy the entire world in a split second, taking from the heritage of our forefathers and ancestors to look beyond death and gloom and knowing My Elders and Peers as well as their Children won’t accept my version of a better world. Let me inspire President Obama and the other Presidential candidates of 2012 by pointing out some things that can be done to deal with the issues of Debt, Jobs, and Energy.

First, knowing that our government agencies replace their vehicles on a regular basis I do believe simply by the President sighing an executive order can make the procurement office purchase electric vehicles from American Automotive Manufactures. For not only would this save millions on fuel expenses in the federal, state, and local budgets, but the savings could be used to pay down the national debt. Additionally, it would provide good paying jobs and increase the revenue for our government; however, by purchasing the equipment to charge the electric vehicles from American Manufactures more jobs, revenue, and savings can be made. For through I personally like the idea of a zero weight 100% traction electric vehicle powered by man-made wind, I do believe purchasing cars like the Chevy Volt would send a strong signal to the market that America is serious about putting over a million electric cars and trucks on the road in the next ten years.

Second, in the sprite of reducing expenses I do believe the President should sign an executive order mandating that all federal building temperatures be set at 78 degrees in the fall, summer, and spring as well as in the winter months setting the thermometers at 68 degrees. And while some may complain I do believe the savings over the course of ten years would be substantial. In fact, I would go so far as requesting from Congress that new building codes ne put in place requiring the cooling/heating lost be kept to a minimum for all new or remodeled federal buildings.

Third, knowing all public buildings generate tons of trash each year I do believe the President should ask Congress to pass into law that all who receive federal funding be required to introduce a 100% recycle policy which would include using the organic waste to produce electricity on site or through a federal certified waste treatment facility. For why I do believe such a move could be done by issuing an executive order, seeing the impact it would have in the daily operations I do believe the Members of Congress should be held accountable; given the fact, some Presidential Candidates and members already in Congress has introduced a bill which would allow light bulbs be produced which use more electricity.

Fourth, knowing the President is going to need a big ticket item in savings I do believe introducing to Congress a bill which would limit travel pay for the Members of Congress and federal employees to the lowest coach price the day of travel because I do believe the American Voter can hold their elected officials accountable for the vote they will make on such a bill. For though I do not think such a clean bill on the subject would pass the House and Senate, I do believe the political blowback it would create will make for interesting conversation amongst the Media Pundits.

Fifth, while far off the radar, but a huge expenditure over the years I do believe the President should request that all Black Projects be reviewed so that Congress can make changes needed to save money and be sure the projects reflect the threats of the 21^st Century. For though America should not give up her stance when it comes to being the World Super Power, even I have to question if America needs better airplanes, tanks, and other 20^th century weaponry. And why I am sure many Members of Congress will fight hard for such items being produced in their state and district, I do believe a blue ribbon commission made up of the top generals of West Point and their civilian counterparts can help save America billions of dollars over the next several years.

Sixth, aware of the fact many contracts come in over budget I would hope the President would consider heavier penalties to include non-payment given proper review. For why we all know there is waste in any program, the idea that a corporation can put in a low bid, but over the years increase the price to well over even the highest bid at the time should be dealt with harshly.

Seventh, knowing Americas’ infrastructure has been neglected over the last forty years and knowing that one of the reasons is the fact most over the age of 50 never believe the Human Race would make it to the 21^st Century I do believe the President should inspire Americas’ Institutions to develop new technology to replace our outdated sewer, water, gas, roads, and other infrastructure that will not only cost less, but take advantage of the bio-knowledge we have acquired over the last forty years. Because why we have not figured out how to build a community that adds positively to their environment, seeing that such technology will go a long way in Mans’ Quest to travel among the stars. I do believe the added value would be inspirational in getting more Americans willing to invest in such projects.

Eighth, realizing the “No-Nothing Party” wants nothing to do with increase revenue I do believe the President should offer them a package they cannot refuse. For recognizing the states are having trouble balancing their budgets I do believe reducing the amount of money sent to Washington by 5-10% will create the necessary incentive to bring all parties to the table. For though I know many want to see the federal Government operate within a balanced budget, unless the current Members of Congress can prove they can pass a 2012 balanced budget than the point is not worth political crap. For with most Americans turning away from the ideology of “Do what I say instead of what I do” the case can be made that those Members unwilling to move from that position and instead take up the cause of proving our federal government can operate within a balanced budget not mandated by law. I do believe the argument of Political Freewill trumps their position.

Ninth, with Americas’ Healthcare Industry demanding more while delivering less I do believe the President should look for alternative methods for Americans to receive answers to their health and medical questions. In fact, knowing that today’s technology can offer the average patient the ability to a better informed, I do look forward to the day when the Patient and their Family Doctor can enjoy a better relationship. Thus, I believe a National Health and Medical Think Tank commissioned by the President offer Congress a better solution than cutting billions out of Medicare and Medicaid. In fact, knowing the VA hospitals are already engaging in such revolutionary technology I do believe especially remote communities can prosper greatly over the years.

Tenth, recognizing Americans need to save more money than they have since the beginning of the century and aware that Social Security will always be under attack I do believe the President should use the idea of creating an Infrastructure bank as an additional method for Americans to save for their retirement. Because with the idea of changing our Social Security system to better reflect the changes of life and our 401k savings subject to the whims of the Stock Market, I do believe offering the Average American a safe 7% interest investment by building Commerce and Industry a better system can be done.

Now, I don’t expect President Obama or the other presidential candidates of 2012 to copy my ideas completely; nevertheless, I do believe the above ideas should help them develop their own top ten changes needed to help America deal with the Debt, Jobs, and Energy issues of our time. For why I can only imagine how far My Brothers and Sisters of the 70’s will allow their children to go in order to build a better world, aware of certain things that will remain silent I do look forward to seeing just how bold Americas’ Democratic and Republican Civil, Political, and Religious Leaders can be given the end of the world as we know it.

With the Liberal Pundits in the media blaming the Republicans for leaving town without funding FAA I do believe they are missing an important political point. For why it is a real good example of how the House Republicans has caused job loss since they took charge, but the fact Americas’ Political Leadership decided to go on vacation while forcing Americas’ FAA Safety Personal to work without pay is in my humble opinion over the top. In fact, the idea that every Representative and Senator is still receiving a paycheck for doing nothing while many Americans are forced to go without a paycheck should outrage every American Voter. Considering I doubt if we could get one of our Elected Officials to work for free until they settled our Debt and Deficit problem which they have created.

Sure, one can take the position that funding for certain airports should be cut; however, for the Speaker of the House to say all the Senate has to do is accept the House version of the FAA bill does little to prove the Republicans are be honest brokers. For would the House of Representatives accept a Senate version of the FAA bill that called for airports in Ohio, Virginia, and other Red States to be defunded and thousands of Americans be put out of work? In fact, given a choice to reduce the funding of Americas’ Best and most profitable airports or Americas’ Worst and less profitable airports I wonder who would win in the political battle considering the job of Congress is to help build up America.

No, the Republicans in my opinion have once again proven they would rather cut spending and cost Americans jobs than do their sworn duty and responsibility. For why I don’t fly and can easily say all funding for the FAA and American airports should be cut since in a capitalist society the airlines should make enough profits to provide the necessary funding to cover their expenses; however, from an American Point of View I do see the need to have a complete transportation system which includes every state being able to house a regional airport. So why in this day of shrinking budgets the FAA should not be exempt, I do believe the House FAA bill does not meet the Spirit of American Law.

Nonetheless, I do see it shameful that Americas’ Elected Officials in Washington would rather go on vacation while forcing other Americans to work for free just because they cannot agree to fully fund FAA. And though I realize there is nothing that can be done to solve the problem today. I do believe the Democrats should not only talk about the thousands of Americans who have lost jobs due to the Speaker of the House being unwilling to work with the Senate to pass an acceptable FAA bill, but also keep pointing out that due to the political stance of the Speaker of the House on the issue. Some Americans are being forced under the Rule of Law to work for free.

With the Speaker of the House and Minority Speaker of the Senate already stating they will only appoint committee members who will not agree to raise taxes I do believe they have just placed the Republican Party in an indefensible political position. For all the Democrats have to do is submit a plan to fund our military through an increase in taxes than those Conservatives and Tea Party Members who oppose any increase in taxes will have to forfeit their tax pledge or face the 2012 Election saying they would rather see our military lose $600 billion dollars rather than ask the American Public for a small tax increase. For why the Liberals could agree to cut entitlement programs and only raise taxes to pay for the two wars started by the Republicans at the beginning of the 21^st Century as well as the National Security of the Country. If the Republicans and Tea Party still want to defend their political position to not raise taxes than whom will the American Voter blame in 2012?

Sure, one can say that such a political move is unfair; nevertheless, for a political party who once boasted they were the Hawks I do believe the Democrats can use the next stage in the Debt and Deficit debate to force the Conservatives and Tea Party Members to the Table of Compromise. For why the Speaker of the House and Minority Speaker of the Senate might want their Republican Committee Members not to vote for any tax increases, knowing that the Representatives and Members of the Senate will face a ferocious ad attack in 2012 if they vote to automatically cut defense spending. I do believe the Conservatives will be forced to give up their title as Hawks and take up the title of Chicken Hawks.

Yes, the Minority Speaker of the Senate might think he is being bold as he talks to his conservative base; however, knowing that a simple move by Americas’ Democrats can make his political position indefensible and put his entire political party at risk. I do believe after the Market gets done reducing the economy the Institutional Republicans might have to take the Speaker of the House and Minority Speaker of the Senate aside and discuss putting committee members who will work not only to protect our military, but also insure Americas’ Wealthy Citizens that the plan the super committee will come up with can protect Wall Street.

For why the Speaker of the House will have to defend his seat and other Members of the House and Senate will have to defend their seats in 2012. After watching the Dow already lose over 800 points in the last week and knowing the first cuts will do nothing to add to the economy or grow jobs. On Dec. 23, 2011 I look forward to see what happens since I doubt if the current Republican Presidential Candidates can win if Congress fails to raise the revenue necessary to pay Americas’ Bills. Especially considering I personally know that on Dec.23, 2008 My Elders were told it is humanly possible to make American Citizens energy independent as well as economically viable and financially independent.

With Speaker Boehner bragging that the Republicans got 98% of what they were asking for than doesn’t Logic and Reason dictate that the House Republicans produce over 200 votes and all the Republican Senators vote for passage of the bill? And though it might be playing political hardball by the Democrats to withhold a single vote until those numbers are met, it would give them political coverage in saying the only reason they voted for passage of the bill was to ensure America did not default on her obligations while a Democratic President held the White House. For after listening to Hannity last night (twice) I do believe the Conservatives and Tea Party should have to own the problems created by not reaching an agreement to generate the revenue necessary to match the $4 trillion dollars wanted by the credit rating agencies. For in my humble opinion they have proven how to win and lose at the same time.

No, the only winner in the bill in my humble opinion is President Obama since he is the only one who can claim to get the National Credit Limit rose until 2013, yet only had to give up $1 trillion dollars in cuts over ten years and the promise Congress can agree to an additional $1.5 trillion cuts by November or face across the board cuts. In fact, the Tea Party stand for a balanced budget failed to get even the support of the Senate Republicans. So why the Left and Right Media will attempt to put their best foot forward today and tomorrow, I do believe the Center and Independents should keep pushing Washington to come up with a comprehensive plan that not only deals with the Debt and Deficit Issue, but grow the economy by creating the Renewable Energy System required to insure Americas’ Corporation long term inexpensive electricity and other forms of energy.

In fact, I do believe the Democrats and Independents should point out to the Republicans in the House of Representatives that it is on their watch that Americas’ Economy is once again failing. For with a first quarter growth of only .4% and a second quarter growth of 1.3% we should be asking them “Where are the jobs they promised in November of 2010?” Because why the Republicans gave up a plan to cut the budget by $3 trillion dollars and raise an additional $1 trillion dollar in revenue to stop any talk about down grading Americas’ credit rating, I do believe without holding the House Conservatives and Tea Party Members accountable for their lack of action and political courage to raise the revenue necessary to keep the wolves at bay that the Institutional Republicans will suffer.

For though I know I am only entitled to My Personal Opinion, the one thing I would do to solve the Debt and Deficit Issue is to use the American Taxpayer Dollar to give every American Citizen the opportunity to own a Personal Renewable Energy System which would not only provide them with an additional source of income, but allow part of the revenue generated through the sale of electricity to Americas’ Corporations to pay down the National Debt and bridge the gap in our Local, State, and Federal Budgets in the 21^st Century. Especially since it is apparent that Americas’ Wealthy Citizens and Corporations refuse to pay their fair share of the debt and deficit that provides them the tax benefits and cuts which only adds to their profits and wealth.
