We ought to be able to forgo the constant need to raise money and just focus on working together to solve the problems this country faces.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Well, first of all, let's go right to it. We're going to balance the budget. We should live within our own means, and we should read the bills and work with the American people.
We are a people trying not only to solve the problems of the present: unemployment, inflation... but we are attempting on a larger scale to fulfill the promise of America.
We could have a budget that brings Americans together.
We will learn together how to solve the problems of the country.
The government would also be wise to press on with its further measures to promote growth, as it will want to outperform the low figures in this outlook. This will mean delivering measures to ease money and credit and to stimulate demand.
We have to raise the minimum wage.
Before the math and the momentum overwhelm us all, we are going to solve this nation's economic problems. And I'm going to level with you: We don't have that much time. But if we are serious, and smart, and we lead, we can do this.
Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.
We need to stop spending money on death, the war in Iraq and on enhancing the lives of the people in our own country.
Without a doubt, first thing we should do is clean up our fiscal house, and that starts with balancing our budgets and digging out of this red ink. We cannot expect to continue in this fashion and remain the leader of the free world.
