I think that the solutions are pretty much known and utilized by the the rest of the world! The shame is that the Republicans are quite willing to sacrifice everything in an effort to convince everybody that they are right and the entire rest of the world is wrong! What stuns me is that people are willing to vote for people like that. It also means that the Dems are doing a REALLY poor job of selling themselves to the voting public. If this is right then we deserve to lose our democracy.
