...learning to do the right things.

I'm for guaranteeing everyone who wants to work a job. A decent job. I want our government to create work. If there aren't enough private sector jobs to go around, then let's make public sector jobs. Rebuilding and expanding the nation's infrastructure. Roads. Bridges. Transit systems. Schools. Libraries. Art centers. Recreation centers. Athletic fields. Gymnasiums. Swimming pools. Parks. Hospitals. Nursing homes. Let's even form a domestic work corps. To help provide essential services to all citizens. Maybe it's the way to end poverty in America. Sure, it's gonna take government intervention and redistributing the nation's wealth to make this happen. Yes, exactly what we need. Centuries from now, we're gonna look back on the 20th and early 21st centuries in America as an immoral way of life. An era of greed and selfishness. When there was a huge gap between the rich and the poor. Just as we look back now on slavery as a national disgrace. Because now we know better. The America of today is still shameful. Far from where we need to go to serve the common good. Yes, we Americans are still learning how to do the right things. --Jim Broede
