Rebuild America
By having better trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, South America and Europe. Corrective trade agreements with China.
Buy made in America products that will create jobs and not have foreign companies say they are investing in America but really our helping their country with jobs. Also show the impact it has on the local community with the investment.
End the wars and put limits on policing over 150 countries, they can only reduce our country's deficit.
Health Reform for everyone including the middle class and uninsured but with cost saving in medical practices with no new taxes.
Regulate Wall Street, Banks and Credit Card practices.
Have consumer protection to help the American Consumer and Investors.
Term limits of four terms in Congress for both the House and Senate, No more forty year terms, We will have new blood and new ideas to move forward thinking and not more of the same.
Get the corruption and greed out of government by stronger limits to what and how lobbying with big money in Washington should be used.
Have public finance of campaigning only without private funding to Washington. also limit the amount of time that one can campaign with say 6 months of election.
Finally have a balance budget and not deficit spending.
America needs to set new list of priorities.
1. Bring our young men and women home and out of harm's way.
2. Bring our jobs back home and quit selling out our skilled work force. We should impose a simple import tax on any products shipped to our country that was once were produced by American workers.
3. Balance our national budget. We are in danger of forfeiting our economic future. Our national debt is crippling our young people's futures.
4. No more bailouts, pouring money into companies that ripped off the public is an insult. How can Washington justify borrowing money from China and other countries to reward poor management and excessive salaries and pension plans for corrupt corporation executives.
If any stimulas plan made sense, it would given the money directly to the public to buy American-made products That definitely would have stimulated our economy. Also if people are working they can purchase health insurance and would not need government assistance. So jobs are the answer, not war and bailouts. Gerry J. Scheub

2.Overseas care is rationed through choices.
3. Foreign health systems are ineffient and bloated.
4.Cost control stifle innovation.
5.Health insurance has to be cruel.
1. 40 years of free World Trade that took away 6 million+ manufacturing jobs to China and India.
2.Allow killing of over 40 million babies to abortion without having a United States conscience to stop abortions plus it would have help stablelize Social Security by having more money put into the fund.
3. Keep on getting into war after war with no end, why should the USA be the Peace keeper of the World. Let the world community police themselves.
4. Allowed for not pay as you go Balance Budgets. If I can balance my budget our USA government should balance also.
5. Unregulate Banks, Wall Street and Credit Card Companies., Insurance Companies. Allow overpricing homes, corrupt loans, and allow consumers to invest unwisely, Allow credit card and insurance companies to raise cost or interest to all time highs with no stops, all for profit. profit, profit.
6. Allowed uncontrolled oil costs.
7. Allowed uncontrol of healthcare costs that will double in 15-20.years without regulation.
8. Allowed the bailouts to go to companies outside of America first, then to miss managed companies, what a waste.It should have been a jobs creation program across America period not to the companies.
9. Kill Unions with the thoughts that unions are not good for America.
Change America's young people minds to think that they should just consume instead of manufacture, you're now out of jobs because of it.
10. Forget about job creation with companies and keep on reducing their staff of their cpmpanies for more profit.
Put a 50 percent tax on all the companies that left our country for cheap labor without showing the impact it had on the community..
lf the above is changed it is going to take a long time to reverse the destruction, it is sad that it may take 10 to 20 years or more..
Joseph R. Kallok.
