“This is one way that wealthy Americans could really contribute. They could put hundreds of millions of dollars into the infrastructure bank, be a good investment for them, for their children, for their grandchildren, and they would directly contribute to revitalizing a big sector of middle-class wages in America and making our country more productive, so that we could create more opportunity. But I think that we could get a lot of grassroots support from, like, local chambers of commerce and other things if they understood exactly how this infrastructure bank would work.” IfsThinkingWayChildrenCountryBigsAmericaOpportunityClassMillionsSupportMiddleUnderstoodDollarsInvestmentLocalsOur CountryOne WayProductiveMiddle ClassWealthyCommerceWagesGrandchildrenInfrastructureChamberGrassrootsChamber Of Commerce Author:William J.

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time - [...] when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what’s true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness.” PeopleFeelsChildrenHandsAmericaLostInterestAbilityDarknessIssuesAuthorityCriticalFeel GoodMy ChildrenAgendasFacultyDeclineSuperstitionsTechnologicalGrandchildrenSlidesCrystalsNoticingRepresentingConsultingPublic InterestForebodingHoroscopes Author:Carl Sagan
