Wish list for 2011

Tue., Jan. 4, 2011

Happy New Year! I am hopeful that in 2011 more Americans will be able to find work; more people will get affordable health care; there will be less stuff purchased and brought into this country from China; more industry and jobs put back here; fair and reciprocal tariffs put back in place; more banking, oil, insurance, pharmaceutical and airline regulations that truly protect consumers; less constitutional violations; no unlawful searches; a very free press; less poverty everywhere with decent food in every stomach; freedom, peace, opportunities and happiness for everyone; no wars; and movement toward a free education for all who want it.
