The next president should TEMPORARILY (Perhaps 2 or 4 years) nationalize oil, banks and foreign owned farms. The foreign ownership in this country is scary to me. Most countries do not allow foreign owner in their countries we should have the same kind of laws.

I'd nationalize the military industrialize complex as well and make it a govt owned entity since we are talking about keeping our national defense strong. The private defense corporations like Lockheed, McDonal Douglas, Northrop, SAIC, Haliburton, KBR, etc would not be front runners and heavy hitting decison makers anymore.

The money saved would go right back into military personnel systems, equipment, benefits, pay, training, rention, quality of life, and pensions

This Country has sold its sovereignty to the highest bidder and the American Public are the victims of Corporate greed.
I've always wondered what the Socialists would target, for nationalization, after healthcare. Maxine let that cat out of the bag, and now Rasta wants to target military contractors. How long before it transportation, the stock markets, food production, and the media.

Sounding more and more like a slow progression toward the Cuban and Venezuelan model with every passing day.
