For $7,000 per million, per millionaire - we could put more Americans back to work

Everyone remembers the snowfall of October 29, 2011. It's one week and a few days later and there are communities in New Jersey and Connecticut without power, which means they are without electricity and heat - still. It's 2011. The electrical companies in their respective geographical areas are grappling with electrical grids that are still not fully functioning. It's not even deep winter yet.

So let's see, if Congress were to think about the welfare of the United States citizenry, they might realize that being cold in a house or apartment is a chilly, miserable experience. If Congress were connected to the citizenry they might realize that losing all of the food in the refrigerator because it has spoiled because the electricity is off is a nasty experience. If Congress were connected to the citizenry they might realize that sitting in the dark around candles without phone, television or radio is a wearying experience.

For an extra $7,000 per million, per millionaire, we could put Americans back to work solving infrastructure issues. For an extra $7,000 per million, per millionaire, we could put our minds, our great minds to work to build the electrical grid so that it does not blow out every time there is a major winter storm.
