4. Of the top of my head... |
|
A return to the environmental controls of the not too distant past
Less mercury emissions in water
Repeal of the tax cuts for the wealthy in order to reduce the deficit
A foreign policy run by grown-ups
Closing of corporate tax loopholes
More honesty in the executive branch of the government
A sound energy policy based on finding alternative methods mixed in with conservation...
Ken Lay in jail...
