Here's what needs to happen now
1. Socialized medicine. Canadian style, single payer, and jail for the CEO's of these HMO's and insurance companies.

2. Full year of extended unemployment benefits.

3. Withdrawl of all troops from Iraq. Cut Iraq a check for reconstruction, and then get out.

4. Repeal the bankruptcy law passed last month.

5. Price controls on gasoline, and a warning to the oil companies that if they don't shape up, they will be nationalized.

3. For me, #1 is to Impeach the misleader...or at least kick off
an honest bipartisan investigation of the misadministration - starting with response to Katrina, then onto Downing Street, Plame....oh yes, #1a is Rove in jail.

5. and.............
.........there needs to be a pro-active sensible plan to the fuel problem.

We knew 30 yrs ago that someday the oil problem would get worse and it has! Many of us live in a state of denial.........acting there will always be oil for us. We need to solve the energy problem and do it now!!!!!

8. But here's what WILL happen
Local authorities blamed for the disaster and they take the fall.
Bush and his ass hairs get off scott free. He claims he did an
astounding job of weeding out the problem makers, 85% of America
believes him.

In order to "prevent" future disasters, aid and support in future disasters to be provided exclusively by the Federal Govt.
The requirements to declare martial law are eased up dramatically so that the government can protect us.

They take out the rest of the functions government provides and retain only
the military budget.

Some of the populace revolts.

Martial law is declared and the protesters are killed.

In order to protect the citizens of the US, martial law becomes the law of the land.

And everyone is happy whether you like it or not.

--- Just watch!

10. NO! What needs to happen is the biggest damned march on DC
in history. This bastard needs to be tormented to distraction. This idiot is too fucking stubborn to quit, but the remaining portion of his term can be made hell.
