Stimulus, Energy, Health Care, Employment and Trees

Well  the Democrats were givin a huge upset yesterday when they lost the seat that the lion of the seante had held for generations, and the reason they lost it boiled down to the disconnect of law makers and the people that elected them, and their concerns about jobs and the deficet.

We have suggested that the goverment as part of the stimulous package of bills past last year that they include a project to plant fruit trees in poor neighborhoods Too simple an idea until you really start to look at it.

Getting kids to eat more fruit goes a long way towards getting them to eat more healthy Most 7-11 you can't find anything that doesn't have salt fat and empty carbs.  Imiaging walking down the street and it has a ton of apple trees or pear trees and   fresh fruit there for the plucking.

Put the guys that are comming back form Iraq and Afganistan to work and give them a chance to decompress doing something enjoyable like planting trees.
