Lower the bad debt from tax havens and endless, winless wars and raise the good debt from rebuilding America . Bad debt benefits the wealthy and war profiteers. Good debt benefits the general welfare, one of the purposes of America 's creation as stated in the Constitution.

Thought for today
The corpocracy is a kleptocracy that has stolen our democracy from us, along with many Americans' jobs and adequate standard of living.

Memorial Day Cliches
Let's honor our fallen veterans without mouthing tired cliches like, "Remember the price of freedom."
Let's remember the horrible price of war and its legacy, more war.
War is exactly what the corpocracy propagandizes with the help of mindless cliches.

What is a conservative/progressive?
A person who wants to keep what's right and change what's wrong. If most Americans were conservative/progressives America would be a much better, more peaceful nation.
Why isn't the U.S. a member of the International Criminal Court
If the U.S. were a member of the International Criminal Court, the supreme ruler of law on earth, how many U.S. presidents and other politicians would be indicted as war criminals? Several come to my mind.

Obama with the forked tongue
When Obama recently spoke in London and addressed the Israel/Palestinian stalemate he said this:
Israel and the U.S. are two of the countries that have never signed onto the International Criminal Court. It oversees an international rule of law.
Why hasn't the U.S. ever become a member of this court? My answer later.
“We fight an enemy that respects no law of war, we will continue to hold ourselves to a higher standard — by living up to the values and the rule of law that we so ardently defend… We will proceed with humility… Ultimately, freedom must be won by the people themselves… But we can and must stand with those who so struggle.”

Corporate/Political Balance Sheet vs Life's Balance Sheet
I'm writing this after yet another one of the endless news reports about the corpocracy's disregard for human rights and life.
The nearly 30 miners trapped and dead in a Va coal mine could have been prevented if the mining co had followed preventive maintencance and the federal government had been overseeing mine safety.
My American friends, millions of Americans have been killed over the decades because the corporate and political balance sheets overrule our life's balance sheets.
What is a "life balance sheet?" Read our Constitution. Its preamble promises that our government will promote the general welfare. On an ideal life balance sheet, one's standard and quality of living would be at least acceptable, not just bearable or intolerable. And America, among advanced countries, would not look like a third-world country in terms of joblessness, income gap and the like.
