Let's cut the bullshit - there's plenty of money to go around

from truthout...

The United States isn't broke; we're the richest country on the planet and a country in which the richest among us are doing exceptionally well. But the truth is, our economy is broken, producing more pollution, greenhouse gasses and garbage than any other country. In these and so many other ways, it just isn't working. But rather than invest in something better, we continue to keep this 'dinosaur economy' on life support with hundreds of billions of dollars of our tax money. The Story of Broke calls for a shift in government spending toward investments in clean, green solutions—renewable energy, safer chemicals and materials, zero waste and more—that can deliver jobs AND a healthier environment. It's time to rebuild the American Dream; but this time, let's build it better.

yeah, what if...? it's a lovely idea... it's also the RIGHT idea... first, however, we've got to put a stop to the vested interests whose wealth and power is based on the status quo from buying elected officials to make sure their vested interests are the ones that get served... which takes us right back to the occupy movement...
