3. Job #1. Figure out what your issues are!!!

Our issues change so often that I am not sure what they are anymore.

Health care for all... Well, health care for most... health care for some... well, HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL.

Let's go after Wall Street and regulate properly... well, too big to fail, so let's add some regulations... well, regulation really get in the way, so let's just give them money and make the market go up!

Big Giant Banks Are The Problem time to put some controls in place... well... let's just give em a bunch of cash and hope they don't do it again.

End the Iraq War... well, slowly end the Iraq War... well, deemphasize the Iraq war... well, let's just rename it!
