My third step would be to demand the creation of a better set of universal insurances on and for houses and companies which would protect homes and small businesses from being lost when people are ill or out-of-work for no thought of their own but a badly run economy.  (My brother lost his home in recent years due to combination of college debts and fluxuating interest rates on housing.)

Fourth, I would demand and implement a change in the payment system for higher education so that Americans were paying once again the same percentage of their salaries towards education and higher education in 2010 as did their grandparents five or six decades ago.  The government must see this investment in education as more important than most any other national investment, i.e.  providing for both ours and our children’s futures.

Finally, I would meet with military personnel and ask what could be done to have a securer world in 2010, 2020, 2030, etc.  I would say we need to cut the budget on war over the next few years drastically and ask them how this could be done. 

Meanwhile, I am considering other steps—such as making the HOMELAND SECURITY division much more efficient and more representative of actuall on the ground needs.I believe in long-term planning and I believe military personnel (as well as other Americans) are tired of the U.S. spending such a large part of their taxes on past wars, ongoing wars, and future wars. 

An ounce of prevention should not always cost the same as an ounce of gold.

There are many career officers and servicemen who know that a powerful America in 2020 has to be economically sound.  They will have suggestions related to policy on how to shave defense and budget costs.  Let’s avoid the quagmires and get out of our present messes as fast as possible. 

EMANCIPATION FROM DEBT AROUND OUR NECKSI

t is time that American voters stand up against the enslavement of all blacks, white, reds, yellows, pinks, greens, browns etc.—in the military or out of the military—HOMEOWNERS OR NOT!!!

Naturally, a lot of minority neighborhoods are especially suffering due to the lengthy war in Iraq and the soaking up of funds from community development in the name of the MYTHICAL GOD OF NATIONAL SECURITY!!! 

This is where a better focus on spending on educational training, on greater alternative energy infrastructure, and on better planned urban, suburban and rural landscape maintenance will make a safer and cleaner world for all.Minorities and others in Midwestern U.S.A. need to see a new emancipation from these shock doctrine economics that other Republicans and Democrats have force-fed upon us over the last four decades—i.e. without providing real protection to many capable farmers, small businessmen, medium-sized businesses, university students (& potential students) , and homeowners—e.g.. by failing to provide proper incentives and infrastructure in timely regions across the U.S.A.
