Dreamers are becoming extinct.
The world has a shortage of dreamers. And that's a problem. Because a percentage of 'em make things happen. They become believers. I thought for a while that Barack Obama was a dreamer. But I'm not so sure about that any more. He was gonna change the system of politics in Washington. Simply by waving a magic wand. Instead, he needs a club. He has to knock heads. And not play by dainty rules. Instead, Obama has taken a professorial approach. As if politicians will listen to reason. Yes, Obama misgauged his audience. He thought they had brains. That they could be persuaded to do the right things. Simply with words. As if spoken from on high. No, that won't work. Politicians only know the language of brutal force. And money. Politicians can be bought and sold. And that's why Obama's dream has no chance of coming true and real. Actually, Obama needs to recruit other dreamers. But they are few and far between. Sadly, the species is becoming extinct. At least here in America. --Jim Broede

Or it could be Obama wants to steer down a road most Americans want to pushed. Obama has ideas that could very well have the USA in the same shape as many European countries. Facing economic failure. Most government workers have got hefty raises in the last two yrs. While people whos work actually is producing a product or service in the private sector, were lucky to keep their job with the same or lower wage.
Sounds like you are making an argument for more public sector jobs. Because they pay a decent living wage. If you are in the private sector, you work for low wages and you are in danger of losing your job. The public sector is setting a good example for the private sector to follow. Workers arise!
