What would your economic policy look like?

Is that for the healthcare bill?

See the little hole at the bottom?  Its not a metaphor - that's for a human head.  And then another, and another, and another.

Abolition of capitalism, means of production controlled by workers' councils (as opposed to the central bureaucracy model that failed in eastern Europe) officially affiliated with the state, which otherwise exists only to make/enforce laws and to be in charge of the armed forces.

You didn't mention the guillotine.  

No progress is possible with out bloodletting.

You guys are pretty far left. I made my ideas centrist because of the scenario. You have a 53-47 majority in the senate, but the other party controls the house comfortably. How would you implement things which would be passed through?

The only possible way to make any economic progress, bb, is to work towards eliminating the Republican house after 2020.  Its a very realistic goal.

Woulldn't it be cheaper and easier to use gas Opebo, rather than setting up and maintaining all of those guillotines... You wouldn't want to expend valuable monies on stamping out parasites

Not so, Cassy.  Good economics is that which increases consumption - so the most labor-and-investment intensive killing apparatus is the best.  Really blunt instruments would be ideal, at union wages.  But the guillotine has a lovely historical relevancy.
