The public has spoken, and they want transparency. They want it clean, they want it simple, and they want to understand what it is talking about, without this whole business of jamming in things left and right. Here, this is simple: Unemployment for the unemployed, taking care of our seniors. But when I think about these issues of seniors and the unemployed that the other side doesn't want to help, it seems the next issue--and I will wait my time here and ask about it--is small businesses--the people who are the backbone of this country--trying to help those unemployed become employed.
