    It is not the factor of more government that may assist to regain an equilibrium within the capitalisms and social paradigm. It will be by reducing monoploy power on basic principles that secure security.
    it is by recognising that which we all have in common and gaining the courage to organize the economy so that the static capital is accumulated and consolidated along an exponential arrangement.
    The West is in trouble because, it lost sight of some very basic ideals, it forgot that capitalism only depends upon housing for the lower paid, because it helps maintain the families who are the main support of the mass of consumerism.
    By allowing the cost of housing to rise and rise the cost of labour to maintain that cannot be sustained.
    It is a simple matter to admit they got it wrong, and recalibrate the equation so that as much as it is possible, the lower quintiles of housing and we should include that housing that is for the support of basic capital such as nurses police etc is kept at such a ratio to wages that that part of the economy is accumulated and consolidated as the need grows.
    In this way the capitalist system cannot catch short those who are the more innocent victims of the failures of the mangement.
    Not only that to reduce the effects of down turns by reducinmg the principle cost of housing for lower income earners and as many government employees as possible by accumutaling the real estate to support that as near to the work place as possible there by saving the costs of travel etc alows us to begin a rethink that also involves the reduction of energy use.
    I suggest an evolutionary method is applied called Coopracy and certain parts of the capital system or what is called capital is understood to have a universal value.

    I would like to see the White House and Congress help push forward on the Millennium Development Goals and help make the goals possible by the target date in 2015. These are the Millennium Development Goals:
    Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger
    Goal 2: Achieve universal primary education
    Goal 3: Promote gender equality and empower women
    Goal 4: Reduce child mortality
    Goal 5: Improve maternal health
    Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases
    Goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability
    Goal 8: Develop a global partnership for development
    Goal 1: Eradicate extreme poverty and hungry had a shortfall of $30 billion dollars. Last year the U.S. Government spent $520 billion on the U.S. defense budget and $170 billion on the U.S. war budget. I hope to see the new administration channel more money into helping the world???s poor and to see a change for the 800 million people that go to sleep hungry every night.

    why are we responsible ? Rid the world of despots and greedy politicians, and things can go along better for countries with this problem. Lets fix ourselves first.
