Change.gov allows you to ask questions of president-elect Barak Obama, and to vote for the importance of questions already asked. There are a number of very good questions already there about the economy, energy, the environment, and more. You have to register and sign in (takes about one minute) to add a question or vote for a question.
I voted for a batch, then added one of my own. This idea has been passed around here lately.
Instead of giving a bail out to the big corps who apparently can’t follow basic good business practices, who will pay billions to their CEO, and send the rest to their sweatshop factories overseas – send each and every American citizen, every one of us, one million dollars. I can’t vouch for the rich, but I know us bottom feeders are going to pay off our house (or buy one), pay off all our credit cards, and probably buy a new – energy efficent – car. Among other things. Thereby solving every single one of our economy’s woes – no more foreclosures, no more crippling debt, and I’m not going to vouch for the big three automakers. Since they won’t MAKE a dependable, energy efficent car I personally will be buying an “import”. (“Imports” being made in America now, and Fords being made in Mexico that whole definition is getting a bit silly)
If you want to vote for this idea – register, sign in, click on “view questions”, then Economy, and then search for “$1 mill” (without the quotes) and it will take you right to it. I know it sounds like a pain in the ass but in reality it goes pretty quickly and easily.
Already, I like this administration.
