Beyond Capitalism: Problems and Solutions:
"04/10/06 'ICH' -- -- Too often my neoconservative detractors accuse me of being a whining liberal eager to point out problems but short on solutions. While I would argue that has never been the case, the following is one man�s attempt to not only clearly define some of our most pressing social problems, but also to provide practical solutions. These solutions, while not easy, can provide a way out of the hell we are creating for ourselves. There are no guarantees that any of them will work; although I believe they will if enough people participate. What I am certain they will do, however, is offer hope. To do nothing and allow matters to run their course is certain to destroy not only our country but also much of the world. That would be unforgivable.
During the height of the great depression of the late 1920-30s, Franklin D. Roosevelt changed the face of America by giving us the 'New Deal.' Roosevelt's New Deal created the present Social Security system, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Civilian Conservation Corps, along with a wealth of other programs of social uplift. These social programs were intended to lift the nation out of the depression and to put people to work rebuilding the nation's crumbling infrastructure. Because of its benefit to working class people and to the common good, Roosevelt's New Deal has been under assault since its inception: a process that continues to this day. "
