With over 300 million people you'd think that the United States could produce an elected official with some great ideas to help lead us out of our malaise.
Consider the economy.
Some feel that this guy should get more of a platform:

...but people seem to get too caught up on the (R) or (D) next to a person's name!
To fix America, we need to start ignoring party affiliation and listen to any good ideas NO MATTER WHERE THEY COME FROM!
Please help me identify more less well-known politicians with great ideas!
Thanks.
I certainly agree. However, from the looks of things, no matter who sprouts these "good ideas", needs to be hooked up to a lie detector. Because, IMO, the person in office, whom I voted for, has misplaced priorities, is efficient ignorant, or is just an out-n-out liar. As 98% of them are. Good luck to us all. We NEED it. Oh, do we NEED it.

A non-partisan tax policy think tank found that Paul Ryan's plan would NOT reduce the deficit. What it would do is provide huge tax cuts for the rich and primarily benefit cuts for the middle class.
"The Tax Policy Center finds that the Ryan plan would cut taxes on the richest 1 percent of the population in half, giving them 117 percent of the plan's total tax cuts. That's not a misprint. Even as it slashed taxes at the top, the plan would raise taxes for 95 percent of the population."
This is yet another thread where misinformed, uneducated, lower class whites advocate a policy that would directly hurt their own family's well being.
Did you notice all the, so serious, "yes, this Paul Ryan sounds like the right man" comments???....LOL .....They have no clue!
Right wing brainwashing in action!

Paul Ryan is one of the few politicians who seems to understand that long-term entitlement programs are the main source of our future budget uncertainties.
Too many other politicians mutter about "pork" and "cutting waste," without noting that the entire non-defense discretionary budget could be eliminated, and we'd still be in debt.
They don't want to mention this, because it sucks the wind out of their sails, and would force them to talk about Social Security and Medicare and defense spending.
Kucinich is a great choice, along with alan grayson and howard dean. All have the attitudes and views to really lead the country into progress.
Too radical on defense issues, which generally appeals to the far left, not everyone else. Other than that, I could see how those three individuals would be appealing to Democrats. Thinking outside of the box is not necessarily a bad thing, something our current crop of legislators just don't know how to do.
I'd like to see Kucinich and Ron Paul get locked in a room and make compromises on major issues. I think those could be solutions that could work for America. (not to mention they would have kept us in a lot less debt by not launching us into unnecessary, poorly planned, wars)
I don't think many people would be happy, but I think those two could create some common sense compromises that everyone could live with.

This kind of political stereotyping is what is keeping Americans at each other's throats and limiting progress for real solutions to our problems.
