Throw in some campaign finance reform and lobbying reform and I'll start a fkn petition to get you on the ballot for the next election even though you're a smelly liberal.
No more economic special interest groups are allowed to petition the government. This would include unions as well as corporations and trade groups. Government representation and access is for citizens. Please note, business moguls and union thugs are free to band together and petition as private citizens, but they can no longer use multiple vehicles to do so.
Campaigns would be publicly financed - follow the Maine model. Tv and Radio stations would be required to donate ad time for free.
Please note, most of this is brainstorming type ideas - would take more time then I'm willing to commit to the Op atm. Nowhere near complete - SOO caught me a bit off guard, which is why I'm not responding to his criticisms.
Tbh, I would make a good politician. But I've lived life and have lots of baggage - it's not in the cards for me. Perhaps when I get old and stop playing soccer I'll run for local office.
Yep, I think some of that needs work, but generally speaking it looks to be going in the right direction as far as I'm concerned - corporations are not "people" and if you follow through on handling them that way...

What would you cut?
Also, fwiw - I am talking about getting rid of half of the third largest cabinet.
You are? You seem to be suggesting moving responsibilities around and raising taxes.
I am all for completely reworking elections. I don't see the lobby thing working.

Bleh, not in the mood to argue ideas with a critic. Now if you want to contribute something and put forth some of your ideas....

I think the idea that we can just mess around and figure out how to save some money is laughable. I don't blame you for not really knowing what needs to be cut. I doubt most people know the first thing about an agency's budget unless the work with the agency on a regular basis.

Participate in the discussion. If you have better ideas, lets hear them Siskel.

My main comment is that we need more information so your comments don't make much sense.
I don't presume to know how to run GE better either.

I think its more of an exercise of what would do if you won a million dollars. Stop being a stick in the mud.
