Capital Homesteading

It's been a while... but don't call it a comeback. I decided that I found something interesting and wanted to know what all you BLOGGERS out there thought.

As some of you know, I'm studying at the American Studies Program in Washington, D.C. It's a great break from Geneva, because honestly I was getting sick of the place (Mom if you read this it's not because I don't like). Part of the semester is having an internship. I could think of few things worse than opening mail and taking people of tours of the Capital; so, I figured I'd find an internship about something I actually cared about.

After much searching, and almost giving up, I found the Center for Economic and Social Justice. I know it sounds big and important, but it's three people (plus the intern) working out of a basement. I really wasn't expecting this when I signed up, but it's too late now.

Anyways, what I want to know if what you all think of Capital Homesteading. Now, I know that none of you know what that is, but it's an interesting take on "saving" Social Security and changing our economy. I'm no economist, but this proposal seems rather amazing to me. So here's what I'm asking you to do. Go here www.cesj.org and read as much as you feel like... especially this. Then come back to our humble blogging abode and let me know what you think. I really want to know.
