Health care reform
-No recission
-No 'pre-existing conditions'- life is a pre-existing condition
-No annual or lifetime caps.

Wall street / banking reform
-no more bailouts. Too big to fail? then fail.
--force banks who did take bailouts to make more individual and small business loans. Bailouts used to pay huge bonuses on my dime? Oh H*LL no!
-re-regulation of wall street. Glass / Steagall II. Unregulated Reaganomics put us in this pickle.

I'm not sure, I tend to be all over the map when it comes to politics. I guess right now my number 1 goal is getting America out of Debt and controlling inflation

Wow!!! They are all right at the top for me. If I have to chose just one...I have to go with the tax issue. My taxes are ridiculous. My second would be Health care reform that does not include Government take over. Allowing the insurance companies to continue on with the price fixing on health care insurance premiums is not going to work. They should not be allowed to rate my group of 12 at a higher premium rate that a company with 500. If they are going to decide insurance costs based on pay out, which I think they almost have to, the formula should be with all the covered people they are insuring. Splitting it up the way they do, is allowing them to discriminate against small business owners and individuals who don't have group health options.
