We need to focus on the environment, too.
I still think a serious hot button issue should be infrastructure - jobs and repairing our decaying bridges and roads. Both of those are win/win for the American people and a better America. Those that have profited *handsomely* from our infrastructure need to be the ones paying for it, too (i.e. large corporations and the wealthy.
Lifting the Social Security cap should be a DEFINITE must do, as well. It's bullshit that we can't fund Social Security - it's that those who make the most aren't paying their fair share.
