"You-Patch the Hole! All others BAIL!" vs "I request an Infrastructure Bank "

Dear 'Favs' and the rest of you Obama speech writers...

This is a hint. As you prepare President Obama's speech don't make him sound like he's applying to the banksters for a development fund via the IMF.

Let us know that the President sees there are things to do and unemployed hands available to do that work. Now isn't the time for dreamy talks about funding for future navigation and ship design in a global economy.

We are listening to hear directives that will put us in action to save the souls on-board this old boat.

talented speech writers.

The question is can they connect the President's words to the desires of the people as did Raymond Moley for FDR, or Ken Hechler for Harry Truman.

As do all the politicians in DC..

Why would any of them care about jobs?

5. Yes. The solutions: end free trade and tax the rich.

Those two measures would take care of our financial problems.

By "end free trade" I do not mean end trade. I mean start using tariffs to protect jobs at home.
