there is no magic bullet here. you can't turn a ship around overnight. we are headed down.

what we need to do now is help the people who need it the most. we should be sending money to the soup kitchens, homeless shelters, unemployment offices, heating assistance, etc... first.

there should be NO tax cuts for upper middle class and up. Rich should get tax increases.

we have to deal with the distribution of wealth. that's what we're seeing is the result of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer over the last decade, and it's about to collapse.

once we take care of those who need it the most, then we can talk about the changes we need to make to the system to right the ship and set us in the right direction again.
