Answer to Question
overhauling of the social security, cleaning and dredging all
rivers and tributaries, removal of all poisons from human
consumption until proven safe, full employment, tax reforms,
and foreign aid revisions. It is about time government takes
action to improve the well being and life of every American.
Reforms in these areas can lead to a better life for all. Full
employment can be achieved by government programs to
improve our environment such as clean streams. The life of our
senior citizens both present and future can be improved through
drastic revisions of our antiquated social security system.
