Somebody help me out here. I'm a young guy, I want to hear both sides of the issue. I can vote in the upcoming elections of '06 and '08. What would you DO differently? I want detailed answers. Not "the opposite of what Bush does." Not a nondescript Kerry "plan." Not "well, I'd have done this differently.." Let's hear it. Details. What would you do to fix the country starting today, Feb. 9, 2006?
Put half the energy into the answer to that as you do criticizing Bush and we may have a viable alternative plan.

I posted this many times (versions thereof) some 3-5 months ago:
From having a beer with our President to Intelligent Design to trade deficits with China to a war concocted by the Bush I Secretary of Defense (Dick Cheney for you younguns) hired to "finish the job," this Country has gone backwards in the last 5 years.
Where is the national high-speed data infrastructure necessary to keep our businesses competitive in a global market and all of our citizens, from the the inner city poor to the suburbar middle class connected, informed, and educated at rates 60 times our current infrastructure?
Where is the "Transportation Energy Independence" program on the scale of The New Deal, Tennessee Valley, Man on the Moon such that 5 years we will reduce our dependence on foreign oil for transportation by 35%?
Where is the topshelf education system in which teachers are held accountable and the very best ones are just breaking 6 figures, every student has a computer that is theirs to keep, every student has books, music class and fully funded after-school programs.
This is VISION. This is what I expect from our President and the future of our Country.
