If Thom takes the position of Sec. of the Treasury, I'll take Sec. of Education & Employment, running a department that's a combination of the Dept. of Education and part of the Dept. of Labor. We need to coordinate these two to have an efficient utilization of our educational capacity, the best workers, and the most fulfilled members of the middle class.

Has Thom heard about Rep. Grayson's plan to shut down the shutdowns?
He's proposed a law that would make a failure to pass a budget default to the old budget for a year, rather than defaulting to no budget.

From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"With the ever-growing influence of corporate CEOs and their right-wing allies in all aspects of American life, Hartmann’s work is more relevant than ever. Throughout his career, Hartmann has spoken compellingly about the value of people-centered democracy and the challenges that millions of ordinary Americans face today as a result of a dogma dedicated to putting profit above all else. This collection is a rousing call for Americans to work together and put people first again."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
The last thing that Richard Mack said was, please fund me because I was too principled to buy health insurance. Help me!!!!
