Once elected president, what should our Dem president speak about?
Should he warn the country that there's lots of work ahead to REVERSE the damage done by the Repuke pigs from Raygun to the president, with a small (very small) respite during Clinton? Or should he give a kumbaya speech and tell us all to hold hands? What do you think?

4. How about restoring value to our currency?
by backing it up with something real and waving buh bye to the Federal Bank? Buh bye Bernanke and friends! Stop manipulating interest rates and restore regulatory contraints on all sectors.

6. I'm not entirely sure I understand the reasoning behind backing it with real precious metal
or whatever is about. Does it really matter that it be backed by something of actual value? How would that, for example, help the elderly poor, the homeless, the disabled, the working poor, how would it bring jobs back from China, India, Mexico, etc.?

11. A stable currency
prevents wild price increases, inflation gone crazy. If you look at economies that have really circled the drain like preWW2 Germany, food and other commodities become wildly expensive, kind of what is happening in the US. This directly effects elderly on limited incomes, the working poor, the homeless and people living on disability.

16. Okay....
... so to make it easier for me to understand, in a world where there are 10 people, for example, and 10 beach balls are the gold stored in a safe, each $1 would represent 1 of those beach balls and the 10 dollars would stay the same, but keep being passed around in exchange for jobs, etc.? I think I kinda understand. It would make it easier to see how the rich are/have been stealing.

5. I'll slap the shit outta him/her if they go with the "Kumbaya" speech
It's not like we don't know what the score is. We need a president that is going to be honest with us. The current administration are all pathological liars, you can't win an argument with them because they will just make shit up, if for no other reason than just to be right. (I know a lot about this I was married to one, a pathological liar not a Bushie.. hehe). The way out of this mess starts with honesty.

26. IMO the new president should keep his/her mouth closed
and go to work. To much talk and not enough action seems to the the mantra of both political parties.
