Okay Obama, nicely done. You're on the right track and we're behind you. But don't forget to be smart. Americans love to say, "We're number one!" Well, news flash: America's transit programs are THE WORST IN THE DEVELOPED WORLD, and many so-called "developing nations" have bus and rail programs that put us to shame (and the only SUV's on the road are olive drab, if you know what I mean). Bust a move, my friend:
Hey, and while we're investing in infrastructure, let invest in our human capital too:
REBUILD SCHOOLS
BUILD NEW SMALLER SCHOOLS
INSTITUTE FULL-YEAR SCHOOLING NATIONWIDE
TREAT TEACHERS AS THE PROFESSIONALS THEY ARE
And since we're talking about improving education, and family life, and creating jobs, here's a novel idea:
Reduce the length of the work week
Increase mandatory vacation
These aren't allcaps because I don't really know about these issues. They seem like good ideas though. Let's get a move on!
