If you can make a case that substantiates what you say about "industrial
policy" by drawing on U.W.S, I'll respond to it. (Likely by comparing it
to the facts of current D & R practices. Especially the new D & R
federal budget which is being put into law by stealth now.) To me U.W.S
is a step in the right direction, rather than farther into the pit, but
it can't begin to define what must happen. "Central planning" can not 
come from the people, by definition.

Let me quote the last page (from the `Afterword' of U.W.S):

	  We have broken the faith we owe to our children.
	The politicians can't restore it. Only the people can.
	  Only the people, the owners of this country, can
	make America strong again. 
	  The Founders believed in the people. They knew in
	their hearts and souls that each generation would 
	have to work to pass on a greater nation to the
	next generation. 
	  Only the people can remake our country.
	  Time is short. History is merciless. The whole
	world waits for your decision.

Perot has demonstrated by action that he will serve the peoples'
will, which is wise, because the fact is that one man (or a
political party) can not rebuild a nation. Only the people can.

The American People working autonomously in parallel is what
matters, and no party plan can begin to describe what it takes
to renew a nation. As must happen in a nation of 250 million
-- central planning can never be fast enough to describe the 
dynamic of change taking place across the land, much less direct it. 

At best, the central function can point out what some groups are 
doing that works well during such an enormous process of renewal. 
And the only time that process should be interrupted is on threat 
of external attack. The fallacy of central regimentation, is that
eventually the people grow weary of being forced into a mold --
the Soviet Union proved it -- and not being allowed to reap the
benefits of their own creative efforts. 

The longer we put off dealing with the debt, even hour by hour and
second by second, adds an obscene extra burden of taxes because of
interest. The S&L fiasco showed that clearly. Most who hold federal 
securities couldn't care less -- they want it drawn out as long as 
possible. Most working Americans know they are being used. And have
had enough.

Just as the people threw off the communist party abroad -- the central
control parties here, must also go. There was hope of reconcile with 
one of the parties, if they had tried to cut the present budget. There 
rhetoric does not match their actions. So now, you can stand with US, 
you can get out of the way, or you can fall. Make your choice.
