Brainstorming is a great tool when looking for solutions to problems and planning for the future. Whether you support the current administration or not, do you have any ideas or personal stories that you'd like to share with Biden's crew? Are you willing to let them know how things really are down on Main Street? [i]www.astrongmiddleclass.gov About the White House Task Force on Middle Class Working Families: The Task Force is a major initiative targeted at raising the living standards of middle-class, working families in America. It is comprised of top-level administration policy makers, and in addition to regular meetings, it will conduct outreach sessions with representatives of labor, business, and the advocacy communities. The Task Force will be chaired by Vice President Joe Biden. The Vice President and members of the task force will work with a wide array of federal agencies that have responsibility for key issues facing the middle class and expedite administrative reforms, propose Executive orders, and develop legislative and policy proposals that can be of special importance to working families. ... We’d like to hear from you. Over the upcoming months, we will focus on answering those concerns that matter most to families. What can we do to make retirement more secure? How can we make child and elder care more affordable? How do we improve workplace safety? How are we going to get the cost of college within reach? What can we do to help weary parents juggle work and family? What are the jobs of the future that we can begin to create? Please share your story with us and give us ideas for how to get the middle class going again.[/i]

At least they are making an effort to listen. I hope somebody actually reads the suggestions and concerns.. even better really takes note and does something. A 500 character limit ... that'll be tough.

They won't like my first one! I told them to take a look at Rush's plan, it makes much more sense!

Lol, they might take notice of that one, if more people submit that suggestion.

What about instead of giving ACORN $5.1billion give it to the people in their stimulus money - make it a minimum of $750 per person

Spalladino, Thanks for the link! Even though I don't believe for a minute they will listen to a strong conservative's input, it will be great to at least have a channel to vent on every once in a while!
