How 'bout nationalizing the big banks, the oil companies, the power companies, the phone companies and the Internet, building a nationalized high-speed transcontinental rail system and 21st-century communication network, putting everyone to work with a new WPA to do all these things, instituting single-payer health care, making education free from preschool through graduate degrees for all with the talent & interest, shortening the work week, paying everyone a living wage, and setting up a guaranteed minimum income for everyone?

Did I get the right answer?
