Well Bob, if I were president, I'd have very little, if any, support
from Congress. But what I could do would be to first appoint my
Cabinet. In anticipation that my appointments would be rejected, I
would first send forward names of people who strongly believed in the
Departments they would direct. I would send with my appointments a
note that should they be rejected, the next...and subsequent names
would be even further removed from the Empire's wishes, reminding them
that in the absence of Directors, I would make the decisions for each
Department.
Next, even knowing that all of my appointments to the many Judge
vacancies, would be rejected, I would send Congress bushel baskets
full of good, well qualified judges. Well qualified to make decisions in the
direction of protecting the working class Americans.
Next, I would propose cutting our military budget in half, using the
savings to rebuild our abandoned infrastructure. Some of those
savings would underwrite full education, along with new facilities and
more teachers. I would establish a committee to study how we are
educating our children. Currently we teach nothing about social
interaction, or the art of establishing Peace. Children should be
encouraged to continue their education to their highest possible level.
Those who are not able to compete in academia, would enter trade
schools where they would learn skills critical to running a strong
nation. If we agree that a government should provide support and
encouragement, protection and the opportunity of a healthy future,
then we, the government of the People, would provide work at a living
wage. The work of rebuilding our infrastructure, building new modest
priced housing and training neighborhood supporters...folks who looked
for those who become forgotten,
The Plan, or Goal would be to develop a community that encouraged people
to want to improve themselves.
I'll stop at this point because it is all pie in the sky. There is no
way I would ever be president. There is no way that I, or any
individual could turn this nation in a new direction without strong
support from congress. We are locked into a Two-Headed, One Party
political system, owned by the American Oligarchy...the Billionaires.
But here we come to a serious impasse. Figures! What's the old
saying? "Figures don't lie, but liars sure can figure." No, I'm not
calling you a liar, but the statistics you toss at me are all suspect,
and subject to interpretation. I have no wish to go one on one with
you. For one thing, I don't want to attempt to defend Barack Obama's
administration anymore than I supported George Bush II, or Bill
Clinton. These men, along with our current "leader" are faithful
servants of the Corporate American Empire(ACE). The Oligarchy is
doing just fine by them. Our long established Ruling Class holds
control of the government, controls the press, owns the Courts,
controls through its banks and investment houses most of the property,
and best of all, not only has a corner on the actual money, but also
the ability to print more whenever it is needed.
You say, "As far as illegal immigration, The United States is not the
caretaker of the world. It is the caretaker of its citizens."
At least it *Should be caretaker of its citizens. But it appears that
a majority of Americans are going uncared for.
I've proposed before the thought that being divided into nations works
to the advantage of the Ruling Classes and makes any sort of equal
opportunity impossible. While I am a dreamer, my blindness is a
condition in my eyes, not in my reasoning. So I do not expect we will
ever see a day when the Human Race removes its self-imposed
boundaries. A One People World could go a long way toward keeping our
Planet Earth a Garden of Eden. But sadly, we have more hangups than a
troupe of Baboons. One fine day, when the last two humans meet in
battle, we will go the way of the Neanderthal...or the Dodo Bird.
So for now I remain,
yours for an open mind, Carl Jarvis
