    Some of the ideas discussed in the book (full disclosure--I've only read the preface, intro and some galleys) that appeal to me include: an Office of Democracy to keep the fundamental but unsexy issues of repairing our still dysfunctional democracy on the radar; public financing with matching funds for small contributions; uniform federal standards for administering elections; a "Medicare for All" universal health insurance; a plan to cut poverty in half by 2016; a National Infrastructure Bank; an International Peace Corps modeled on our domestic one; fair trade with strong labor and environmental standards; a plan to abolish nuclear weapons; and an expeditious transformation to a low-carbon economy. paste broth blabs Knowlton?driving sneeze.kilobyte skimming Online Car 12% 164,141 $ 207 June 12, 2008
