THE 2ND BILL OF RIGHTS-- AND --HOW TO PAY FOR THEM

America is in serious trouble-- because so many of us have lost our job, home and confidence in the future-- or fear we will lose them soon enough.

We are turning against government itself-- after it has rescued banks and bankers-- but refuses to move aggressively to protect the middle class (and the nation) from a recession and depression it should have prevented in the first place.

Conflicting voices claim: real deficits in jobs, wages, sales (by small business and all business) -- and a deficit in agreement on what to do, what went wrong and who's to blame -- can now be cured.

They can be cured by ending a questioned budget deficit-- by spending cuts that will cost lives and further loss of jobs-- to narrow a deficit in taxes already too high for rapid recovery.

This site for political action and economic understanding asks that we get out of the weeds of controversy -- that leads to one dead end after another -- and focus on only two questions: What are our economic rights? How can we readily pay for them?

The Second Bill of Rights solves the first question. We may look further as the future unfolds.

But the rights defined in January 1944 are plainly spoken and intelligently defined.

Starting with it, composed, as it were, when their cost in blood (for not having them in fact in the 1930's,) was paid in full for all time, we can move to the material cost and how to pay it.

That cost is, roughly speaking, production of water, food, homes, clinics and schools, and all missing infrastructure and capital facilities, needed to deliver promised results measured by living standards visible to all.

You may say, "Is that all?" -- meaning you want to know how much money are we willing to spend. And, while we're on the subject of money--whose will we steal to create heaven on earth? And why have we waited 'til now to admit it?
