Here a to-do list, legislators, leaders

We know that you all want your jobs back, but we the people need jobs and a balanced budget. Please try to make cuts for your pet projects. Help the president give tax incentives to companies that hire more help. Get the banks to loan small companies to expand. Let homeowners claim bankruptcy because of health, job loss, loan balloons, etc.

Solve the big insurance health care and tort problems. Most of the European countries seem to be way ahead of us. We need action now. Stop the wars. Cut defense spending. Get everyone on your health plan. Help the teachers get their social security when they earned it. Help all citizens get to vote. Fix the banks, too.
