How could we make this happen?
There is something that I would like to see happen, but I don't know exactly how feasible it is. I think these things would be very good goals for America:

1. Any adult who wants a full-time job will be guaranteed one.

2. Any person working 40 or more hours per week will be able to comfortably support himself or herself as well as a family.


I think that if these 2 things were true, a lot of our problems will be solved. However, I think a lot of things would have to be shaken up first. How can we begin to accomplish this?

1. Are you the ghost of FDR????
Hell, the GOP thought he was a goddamn commie, what with his CCC, WPA, and assorted alphabet soup to help out the least of our bretheren.

The whole "market forces" paradigm of the GOP wouldn't permit your scenario. If everyone had jobs, there'd be no one left for the GOP to exploit!
