It's easy to fix the economy

You want to economy to be fixed?

Then you want President Obama to reinstate and re-enforce our basic 'economic rights' that FDR first enunciated in his Economic Bill of Rights speech

Franklin D. Roosevelt, delivered his Economic Bill of Rights speech on January 11, 1944, during the Second World War, which included:

The right to a useful and remunerative job in the industries or shops or farms or mines of the nation;

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;

The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;

The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;

The right of every family to a decent home;

The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;

The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;

The right to a good education.

As FDR concluded: “All of these rights spell security. And after this war is won we must be prepared to move forward, in the implementation of these rights, to new goals of human happiness and well-being.

“America’s own rightful place in the world depends in large part upon how fully these and similar rights have been carried into practice for our citizens.”

If we truly had these rights again - they have been stripped from us by the repugicans one by one ever since Roosevelt first bespoke them in 1944 ... especially in the last eight years - the economy would take take of itself.
