Obama's pitch

I agree with much of the spirit of what he says. There is much to be done increasing our educational and transportation infrastructure. Unemployment benefits and health insurance should be expanded.

Handing out $500-$1000 to people who are already employed would be a waste. Rather, as income inequality increases, we should enact permanant changes to the tax code that make it more progressive.

As our economy increases is its technological complexity, unskilled workers are the first to exerience a lower relativel livelihood. We should use government power to make sure our children, tomorrow's workers, are as skilled as possible.

Obama receives full points for increased transparency. Whether you construe his messages and his website as public service or propaganda, at least he is engaging with the People and encouraging continued interaction of the governed with the government.
