America is going the wrong way, and most people are feeling it. There is something wrong when almost everybody who is not a multimillionaire thinks the only things their children will inherit are a mess of problems and debts. There is something wrong when working families across America look at the future with concern and doubt. There is something wrong when our bridges are falling down and oil company profits are shooting up. That is not the way America is supposed to be.
We all face the same problems. On our own, things keep getting worse. Together, we can do something about them.
2008 is the time to get together to Turn Around America—and here’s a plan to do just that:
Gas prices, health care costs, mortgage foreclosures and credit card interest rates are skyrocketing. So are corporate profits and CEO pay.
But workers' pay is not keeping pace and opportunity is shrinking. It's time we send a message to our elected representatives. We need new policies that put good jobs and a just economy first.
I support the 5 point plan to turn around the economy.
