That is a VERY Populist initiative.

Now if you can get the republicans to agree
we are gonna have a real chance to succeed.

Wanna start with lobbying the T-party?
They would be most likely to go along...
mushy brains and dirt poor, they might
support public works projects!

But seriously, it's a good approach to raising
the floor and improving the lives of the general public.
How we get there and who are the allies is the big question.
