Do we pay more in taxes, elect more responsible officials, re-direct funding from other programs? Since the bridge collapse in Minneapolis last night, has that brought the situation to everyones attention?

It was a hard time for America following the World Wars, FDR tried his best to put Americans back to work in America. He created the CCC, Civilian Conservation Corps. This put thousands of people to work around this great nation, get the people off welfare, put them back to work, put pride back into the once great nation that we call home. I live here and choose to call America my home. There are a lot of things that can be done, however, we have to stand up and be counted. VOTE! Call your congressmen and senators. If you squeak loud enough, you'll get some grease on occasion!

Something that hasn't come up in conversation is the fact that MILLIONS of jobs have left America for other countries. What does that have to do with anything you ask? Well, for every one of those jobs that are not in the US any longer, there are also NO TAXES being generated from those incomes. Sure the corporation might, and I stress might, pay taxes, however, it is left up to the rest of us to pick up the slack. Bring jobs back home.

Bring back the troops from IRAQ and have them start working on things such as our bridges, roads, dams, etc.. here in the US. We need to work on making America the best it can be before we think we can go fix other countries' problems.

We should REDUCE the Billions & BILLIONS of dollars we're sending to Iraq every month by HALF- & USING that money to fix the infrastructure in THIS Country... That would solve a LOT of different problems...
