Outsourcing US Jobs to Foreign Countries
Did you know that Dell Computers and HSBC Bank outsources jobs to INDIA?!! We need to get on this problem immediately to get these jobs back in the US, Even if people had to work for minimum wage, at least they would have a job. Let's get these "traitor" companies to own up and change their hiring.

social security- reward for those who give it back
Many people receive social security without needing it. Why not reward those who wish to give it back? It would relieve pressures on the system. Perhaps a reward in the form of
a benefit credit towards inheritance taxes.
Thus, it would be a way for the rich to give more to their children and grandchildren.3 votes -
Create technologies that make useful comptuers
I come from the world of technology doing several startups (all sucessful) as well as working at Apple and Microsoft of both core operating system designs. I believe we need to invest in technologies that actually make computers and related devices useful for those that have no technology background. 1) creation of languages that do not have a programming paradigm 2) semantic intelligence and predictive analytics 3) grid computing ... The list is endless. The goal would be to never hear "I don't do computers". Well people do television for better or worse and the Internet is the new television;…

Official Language
What of the idea of making English the Official Language of the United States ? An idea such as this wouldnt "outlaw" other languages spoken, but would serve to unite Americans under one common language used to conduct business in and with state, local and federal government agencies. And too this might reduce the costs that agencies incur in having to print forms, instructions etc in 500 different languages.

Investigate 9/11
There are hundreds of inconsistencies just comparing the statements of the same politicians like George W. Bush for example.
Millions of people believe that there is something wrong, Google's 2nd suggestion for 911 is "911 conspiracy" with over 611,000 results or "911 truth" with 1.2 million results. No single word has been mentioned by Barack Obama. An investigation is overdue.15 votes -
Open fiber networks EU style rather than $$$ to incumbents
The current NewsWeek (mid-January) indicates the Obama team might tilt toward "the same old, same old" via tax incentives to incumbents like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast. Seemingly no awareness of the "open fiber" (to the premise) model shown so effective in EU and elsewhere. Worrisome!

Public Eduation System
Its very interesting that so many people are voicing concerns about the public education system in America, and I agree wholeheartedly that the system is in SERIOUS need of an overhaul; however, it is NOT the sole responsibility of the public education system to teach children everything they need to know!! Where are the parents and communities and what are their roles in the education of children ? What is THEIR responsibility in this matter ? Is it not the responsibility of parents (and perhaps communities) to provide some fundamental educational basis upon which the public education system can build…
