Three Goals for the Next Four Years

Despite the failing economy, there are fantastic gains for humanity and the nation possible in the next four years. Here is my top three goals that would enhance human life at no cost to taxpayers

1. Goal: Through Intensive Research program, double the wattage that each solar panel can produce. Or, to put it in economic terms: cut in one half the cost of what it costs to install solar panels for the entire electric needs of a home. Think of the jobs this creates and think of the electric bills this will diminish. Think of the exports we could realize.

2. Create a set of relationships in the world that enables the United States to so reduce its perceived security needs that we can cut the Military budget in one half. (Actually, we could cut it in half right now and still be secure as the more we spend the less secure we are.)

3. Figure out a way for the government to own or share in the ownership of all good alternative energy companies. In two years, if we meet goal #1, the government will be able to recoup all the stimulus bill money.

Okay two more that would help us too:

4. Create a one payer national health system

5. Provide enough educational aid to schools that we can cut the average class size in elementary schools to 20 students.
