Bushido: Movie-Novel

 

Democratic Convention,

  

Denver, Colorado

  

August 25th to 28th, 2008

 

Where are we?

 

A Trajectory Analysis.

 

 

I have something very important to point out.

 

4 years ago we were looking at George Bush or John Kerry.

 

Neither one was much of a candidate.

 

Just like when you look back at the days of ONE restroom for both men and women who were black and getting hit for trying to eat lunch --> Things are not good. They ARE a bit better.

 

Yeah I want us to elect Barack Obama.

 

But just for the record, McCain is a much more real and serious candidate than either Bush or Kerry.

 

I don’t want to debate this. McCain has actually done things in his life that neither Bush or Kerry did.

 

He may be for continuing the war in Iraq, but at least he knows what war is. He has some kind of reality check that would inform his decisions on the war.

 

BUT:

 

Candidates are not as important as issues.

 

Where we are and where are we going is what matters:

 

Terrain.

 

Tactics.

 

Resources.

 

Weaknesses and Strengths.

So here goes:

 

(I am underpaid and over-worked, so this is going to be the quick and dirty:)

 

  1. The economy is very unstable, and we are stuck in a quick sand trap --> Terrain.
  2. Tactics – there is not a lot of room to maneuver. Everything we do has to be tight and focused, cause gas is expensive, and people’s housing is in danger. New Orleans and now parts of Iowa and Illinois are devastated by flooding and neglect. We are at war.
    1. Moves have to be direct and efficient
      1. Troops Home
      2. Take the money you were spending on the war and create jobs that get money flowing.
      3. ONLY WHEN you have people in jobs, can you think about addressing other issues like Health Care, that cost the Clintons a billion hours to get almost very little done.

 

 

Where do you create jobs?

 

  1. Rebuilding New Orleans, and Iowa
    1. Using local labor whenever possible
  2. Teaching
    1. Reduce class sizes to below 25 students/class
    2. Increase Technical Education
    3. On the job training
  3. Manufacturing
    1. Auto plants
    2. High Tech Steel refineries
    3. Alternative Energy
      1. Windmills (please consult Don Q. - not the rum - on how and why)
      2. PhotoVoltaics
      3. Fuel Cells (the best --> Propane makes hydrogen without combustion --> Hydrogen makes electricity --> look it up, Pendejo-san)
      4. Natural Gas Engines and Generators
  4. Roads, Water Treatment, Infrastructure
    1. Our Highways and roads need tons of work
    2. Auto and Manufacturing Plants need much thing
      1. Not really accurate right?
      2. Buy a couple books and I’ll do the logisitic ballistic thing
      3. You can also hire an engineer – new graduates coming off the assembly line every year looking smarter and smarter
    3. Rural Water treatment plants are in bad shape
    4. New York’s sewer system is sorta kinda infested and leaky
    5. The Mississippi needs dykes
  5. Family Farms
    1. Erosion control
    2. Maintain price floors for Milk, corn, wheat, soybeans
    3. Foreclosure emergency funds
    4. This doesn’t pay short term but it does in the long term and erosion control is way cheap and easy and sort of labor intensive so it creates lots of minimum wage jobs for relatively low investment.

 

 

 

BECAUSE THE ECONOMY SUCKS, there is not enough time or money to get fancy and argue about controversial legislation. (please read my soon to be written position paper: “?How bad does the economy suck?” available any day now)

 

Forget anything that involves a fight in committees.

 

Step ONE: Bring Troops Home

 

Step TWO: Take the

$250,000,000,000.00 you were

 spending on the war and create

10,000,000.00 jobs paying

$25,000/year.  Give a bunch of

those jobs to veterans and they

won’t have to SELL DRUGS,

reducing your need to BUILD

 JAILS. ($40,000/YR. PER

INMATE)

You can’t create 10 million jobs,

but even 3 million jobs will go a

long way to jumpstarting

the economy, and you will have a

bunch of billions left over for

graft and bribes and mordidas

and other Washington necessities

like filibuster snacks and cigars

for the boys and girls in the back

room.

 

Step THREE: Keep people from

foreclosing on their farms and

homes.

 

Step FOUR: Don’t get shot.

 

If we can have the first ever Black President, and he doesn’t get shot THEN:

One small step for Black Man, One GIANT STEP for John Coltrain.

 

It’s that easy.

 

 

Thank you for listening

 

 

 

 

Tactical Schematics.

 

Easy to follow recipes.
