Pass a debt act that grants 4% govt backed loans to pay off all debt, credit cards and mortgages.

Put banking criminals in jail for real estate fraud, derivatives fraud, securities fraud, money laundering.

Universal health care -- that'd put 100s and in many cases 1000s of dollars in people's pockets immediately.

Get corporate money out of politics so the peoples' interests are represented.

NONE of this will occur in the current society of propaganda fools, partisan hacks and corporate govt.
