    What Obama should give to people to get people to like gov't

    Ok, maybe we've had too many years of GOP gov't bashing to actually get them to "like" gov't, but what benefits could Obama provide that would make people appreciate the Dems?

    Long term I think health care is obvious. But what about free college education? Universal pre-K? Cutting the work week and increasing min wage?

    I think the GOP has been winning because Dems have largely given up on providing benefits. Clinton even worked on cutting benefits!

    Wow! That's brilliant! People won't have to pay for anything if the government pays for it all! :D

    Probably not a mole although the post count is suspicious.

    Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
    who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
    who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter.

    Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
    and clever in their own sight.

    Isaiah 5:20-21
