Be sure to read the links, which include the proposal itself.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Air travel off the table ten years\nfrom now? The guaranteed vacations she wants for everyone will entail a whole\nlot more ground travel time than destination time. Gee, will she and her friends make an\nexception for the Air Force? National\nsecurity and all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n My favorite part is the revamping of\nevery single building in America. \nIncluding, one presumes, your home, your barn, your detached garage and\nother outbuildings.
