Ron Has the Recipe
Basically Ron Paul has the recipe: drop fascism-militarism-empire and Wall St. bankster capitalism, shrink the Fed gov’t and its taxation without representation (I’m refusing to pay fed taxes until the wars stop), return “entitlements” (health/education/welfare) back to the states, LOCALITIES, individuals, where problems can be solved by face to face communication, genuine democracy, libertarian sociability (or Bernard Shaw’s “sociable socialism”) the old-fashioned way.
The federal government can not give you/us anything that it hasn’t taken away from you/us first!
I’d keep Social Security separate and working just fine—taking money from us when we’re working to keep us secure when we’re old—if it’s not “borrowed” from to do wars, etc. And if Medicare can be reformed to keep costs down it would be wonderful to extend it to children in their first 5 years of life, get them off to a healthy start.
All questions become practical and solvable at human scale, i.e. locally, in “transition” to sustainability. Paul’s principles and non-programs might get us there in time to save the speciation. That’s my hope, and “yes we can” for today anyway.
