THE PLAN: THE US GOVERNMENT OFFER EVERY US CITZEN A 30 YEAR MORTGAGE AT 1% FIXED INTEREST. This is a government loan program, not an increase in government spending. The government bailout of the financial industry had a tremendous impact on business but the trickle down effect has not worked. The RE-MORTGAGE AMERICAN HOMES PROGRAM will add a trickle-up for the 99% and will add economic expansion and generate increased revenues for federal and local government, AND CREATE JOBS.

This would allow the purchase of a foreclosed property for primary residence with 401K funds without penalties or taxes. This will put money back into local economies, provide much needed jobs and stabilize neighborhoods.

Anyone who invests in the Stock Market and loses money, gets to claim that money off their Taxes, and not just for the year in which they lost money but can spread it over multiple years to reduce their Income Taxes, additionally they pay a very small tax on Capital Gains for those stocks which actually make them money and additional Tax Breaks for holding Stocks for a period of time. It's time to end these Perks for the Wealthy. Why should average American's Taxes be used to cover the losses of those who choose to play the Stock Market and why shouldn't they pay their full Taxes on their Winnings? It's time to end these policies which have virtually no benefit for the Average American Tax Payer and greatly benefit the Wealthy who by and large do not work but only play the Markets to make their money. Enough is enough, everyone needs to pay their Taxes.

An automatic increase in federal taxes across the board of 3-4% when our country goes to war. Military personnel and their families would be exempt. This would engage the public by requiring at least some sacrifice of everyone.

We must save the middle class and the poor. Taking back Congress is the only way. We must educate the public to GET OUT AND VOTE to make this possible.

All souvenirs in National Parks (and State Parks) need to be made in America. This is not just about jobs but also about taking pride in representing our country's beauty, heritage and craftsmanship.

On 60 Minutes (Dec 18) thousands of homes are being abandoned by owners who can no longer afford the mortgage payments. The bank takes possession and let the houses rot to the point they are no longer marketable. This is due to: 1. banks will not keep the property in in marketable condition (it costs money to do that) and 2. Scavengers break into the abandoned homes and take anything of value including copper wiring, plumbing fixtures, appliances, cabinetry, even aluminum siding. It seems to me that the banks, rather than causing folks to abandon their homes due to high mortgage rates, should refinance at the current market value to lower the payments so the folks can stay in their homes. This results in banks taking a lost in the equity, but when a home is abandoned and not cared for, the banks loses 100% of their loaned amount instead of 50 %. Homes in Ohio are being demolished, and banks are losing the entire cost. It was banks that caused the problem in the first place - even after TARP and another 7.7 trillion dollars loaned out to Wall Street/Banks at 0.01% interest.

CA legalized medical marijuana and put hundreds of people to work, as well as raising huge revenues to address our multi-billion budget shortfall. Federal agents swooped down and raided dispensaries recently -- leaving patients stranded without much-needed relief from a long list of problems. President Obama had indicated he would have the Feds leave States alone on this issue.

FDR's proposed this second Bill of Rights that was filmed after he delivered his State of the Union Address via radio on January 11, 1944. It is relevant now more than ever. It works in democracies in Canada and all over Europe. LET'S MAKE A CHANGE!

Pass the Presidents tax cuts and unemployment for next year

Since the Republicans party has shown that they are not willing to do their jobs or listen to the will of the people!. By obstructing every attempt to improve this country's Economic and Employment situation! And buy not creating A single job since they have been in session! I pledge to put them on the unemployment lines!!!

Although there is legislation pending to forbid employment agencies or employer from listing qualifications that include "currently employed" as a criteria for hiring, unemployment status is still an unprotected class under employment discrimination laws. Furthermore, employers are not required to disclose the reasons why a job applicant may be disqualified or rejected from consideration beyond the standardized form letter that usually states, "other applicants more qualified", "more closely fit our needs", "we were impressed by your work experience, however..." , in addition they do not provide results of pre-assessment or pre-questionnaires taken in the process of applying for employment, and many times lack a contact name, phone number or reply e-mail address to a recruiter or staff dept. if an applicant wishes to inquire or challenge the disqualification or rejection notification. We need legislators to force employers to provide these reasons in order for potential employees to have an opportunity to have knowledge on how they may need to improve themselves for the next opportunity and for employers to be more considerate of the time consumed by the applicant, and adopt a fairness policy applicable to the selection process. This mandate will help relieve the suspicion that an applicant is not being considered due to age, gender, race , disability ,etc. and/or other employment discrimination. If an employer doesn't agree to provide this information then they should be subject to punitive laws that are applicable to employment discrimination. Too many unemployed people are not getting a fair shake or reason and it's time they did.
