(1,957 posts)In the past when the US faced a crisis, the gov't rose to the challenge. Eg, WW2, space race, cold war, etc.
There are experts within gov't who know what needs to be done, or at least have very good ideas. Task them with the development of a plan. Eg, at the outset of WW2 the War Dept developed a plan to proceed. What materials would be needed, how they would be deployed, etc. This plan was based on national interests. At that point industry was brought in for advice on the plan and asked how they might assist.
Industry had no veto power. If single corporation didn't like it, they were bypassed. National interests were more important. This makes sense because those corporations depend on our nation.
So too for this plan. Quit asking guys like Immelt to solve job problems, or Geithner to solve banking problems.
Where's the national plan? Our national plan? No more shovel ready bullsh!ts.
Make the gop argue with a concrete proposal and scream it in the media.
Time for change? Finally?
