Advertisements [?]Today we are where we are. We can point fingers and we can recriminate. And we probably should.But economically, what should we *do*?Would ending the war (and thereby eliminating that cost) help us in the short term, mid term, or long term?Would rescinding every tax cut of the Bush years help us in the short term, mid term, or long term?What will really help and what should we do?
fasttense 7. Increase government employee wages GS5 to GS11, or equivalent, by about 40%, raise minimum wages to $10/hour and this will have an immediate improvement on consumer spending. Ending the Iraq occupations pay outs would probably have a mid term improvement and ending the Paris Hilton income tax cuts will have a long term improvement. Immediately placing tariffs on all products with equal tariffs in foreign countries would also improve the economy and encourage US manufacturing. Immediately providing health care for all American citizens will make our labor competitive with other foreign countries and removing the tax incentive for outsourcing jobs would also encourage job growth and demand.The middle class must be put back together again for any economic improvements. Trickle down does not, and never has, worked. If it did, then serfdom and feudalism would have been the most dynamic and robust economies in history. Get rid of this fake free trade mentality and regrow the middle class and the economy will improve.I do not thoroughly understand economics but I understand common sense.
i'm gonna go out on a limb and assume 'fasttense' works for the guvmint?

Honestly, why are they so stupid? The govt has never been able to create prosperity, control the market or tax us into personal wealth. How do they breathe and walk upright???
