Although Ronald Plamondon, in his letter titled “Recent boom years will never return,” reflects the feelings of many, I prefer to look on the brighter side of our existence.
What if our congressional leaders decided to look out for the economy rather than self-interest? What if billionaires would spend the money to help our economy and stop blowing it on election campaigns?
If we the people of the United States of America decided that we were one nation rather than a politically divided bunch of ideological idiots, we could create a major boom.
With the help of government, we could create millions of jobs through new construction of rapid transit projects along with existing infrastructure repair.
The folks we elect to serve and protect our people create boom years. They are not elected to provide for just a select few.
We have many projects that can create massive growth. What if we devised a plan to put families in every vacant home and to equip every home with solar power or create massive solar systems to provide for every home? This would be an unimaginable economic boom.
We have one party that screams budget control but refuses to actually try to control the budget. Budget control will only come to pass when we force the haves to pay their fair share and every unemployed person has a job so they can contribute their fair share to the economy.
I prefer optimism and try to shun negativity.
