NOP Platform II

Our National Optimists Party has long advocated credit, though we stand foursquare against the enslavement of debt. We are therefore wholly in favor of the bailout, though we find the sums discussed miserly in the extreme and manifestly insufficient to the purpose. We propose to bailout the entirety of the economy, to pardon the whole of the nations debt to itself, using those monies instead to fund a wholesale mobilization of the nations resources for twenty years, during which time we shall -Attain sustainable energy independence -Reform education and healthcare -Construct and deploy a new transportation and communications infrastructure -Develop and implement molecular manufacturing -Conduct large-scale environmental restoration Just think of it! The patents alone for the passel of new inventions well create in the process will, by themselves, generate untold riches for the nation, to say nothing of the wonderful quality of life and enduring appreciation from all quarters, now and forever, that will be ours. Abandon those who hem and haw, trifle, straddle fences. Ours is the era of the epic and we call upon you all of you – to be epic heroes. This is Eve Darling, National Optimists Party candidate for president saying, All hands on deck full speed ahead.

NOP Platform

In a mere fifty years we have been steered from the Empire of Production to the Empire of Consumption- from the Empire of Credit to the Empire of Debt. We were the Land of Abundance. Now we are the Land of Lack. How silly. How frivolous. How wasteful and shameful. Yet we are not here to curse the darkness, but to light a candle. We shall produce again – wisely and for great abundance – the best educated citizenry in the world, the healthiest populace, a new and sustainable energy and transportation infrastructure, smart, green molecular manufacturing – all to our enduring credit and benefit, engendering the gratitude and indebtedness of the whole world for generations to come. This is our National Optimists Party platform – a plan to at once regain our place and legitimize our legacy as the last great hope of earth.
