Agree regarding the big money in politics.  The Supreme Court did not do us a favor with its veredict re "Citizens United".  The problem as I see it is that it will take the Fox (Congress and Senate) to undo. Good luck with that, comes to mind.

I posted a link to an interesting idea for how to pay for Infrastructure spending.  Corporations complain that jobs are going unfilled because they cannot find the right people to fill them.  As I understand it these are jobs that do not require college degrees (still blue collar work if you will), I would like to see the new President incentivize Corporate America to hire and train people for these jobs.  I believe Germany has this type of on the job vocational training.  It is why they have a lower unemployment rate.  For us, these folks that are not skilled for today's jobs are essentially a structural problem, as lost generation even?  Even if they eventually get hired to do some menial jobs, they will require social programs to make ends meet, i.e still a drag on the economy and system.
