Health Care: You didn’t hear that our health insurance system is bankrupting the nation.  You didn’t hear an announcement for A Single Payer System, also called Medicare for All, Universal Health Care.

Energy: You didn’t hear a bold new energy research plan, to make us independent from foreign oil, a new Manhattan Project to discover a new source of safe and cheap energy suitable for mass consumption, coming from the nucleus of the atom.

Financial Crisis: You didn’t hear a moratorium on home foreclosures, a ban on derivatives and credit default swaps, seizure and nationalization of the Federal Reserve Bank, reinstitution of the Glass-Stiegel Act to re-regulate banks and financial markets.  You didn’t hear a plan to end the looting of the tax payer dollars with the wildly irresponsible and ineffectual plans to bailout failed financial institutions.

Science: You didn’t hear a bold new plan to colonize the Moon, and Mars and begin industrial production of materials and energy in space.  You didn't hear a bold new plan to find a cure for cancer and heart disease.

Foreign Policy: You didn’t hear a plan for peace and the end of pre-emptive warfare.  You didn’t hear a plan for global nuclear disarmament.

Education: You didn't hear a new plan for expanding opportunity for college education, to create a new generation of college educated Americans, scientists, mathemeticians, linguists,  historians, journalists, doctors who will reclaim global leadership in science and medicine.
