We should all, as Americans, more or less violently agree that everyone in this great country deserves a government that can and will provide the following:

  • Healthcare that is excellent, accessible to all and affordable;
  • Education that is first-rate;
  • Jobs that are secure, enable us to enjoy life, raise a family and care for those we love;
  • Homes that are safe and secure;
  • Climate and Environment that is clean and healthy;
  • Foreign Policy that both protects our national interests and grows our economy; and
  • A Future that is brighter than our past

We need to get these points above right in the first instance, or all the arguments about the details are irrelevant.
