Reply to "How would you solve our unemployment problem?"

until we, in this country, decide to produce goods again, no full scale recovery is going to be possible. I therefore think we should make it economically not fesable for a company to produce products in another country and ship them here


Congratulations, you've just driven up the cost of everything. Now, the poor can't afford us much as they could before. Mercantilism fails...everytime.

As long as health care cost are being borne by businesses it is a lot more difficult to compete with other countries, so I think we should make available a single-payer health care .


So you want to give the same government that caused this mess control of your health and well being? Go right ahead, but let's not do anything stupid that requires me to use and/or help pay for that monstrosity.

obsession with the national debt at this point in time is actually going to hurt. Happened during 39 so we know what can happen if it is too much of a worry. I hate to have to admit that fact because I hate debt so much, but we are where we are.


I don't expect the debt to be paid down...ever. A default is more likely than finding a politician willing to let working people keep their money. A politician's job - by definition - is to steal working peoples' money and spend it on things designed to improve re-election chances. That said, as the debt increases, the buying power of American dollars decreases, and the poor and middle classes quality of life will go down with that drop in buying power. So, adding anything to the debt is only a further burden on those who need the most relief.

Taxes? , hell, we have the lowest taxes we have had since Harry Truman was president, and it would appear low taxes ain't working now.


We can't tax enough to satiate Washinton's spending appetite. Increased taxes will only burden people who need their paychecks. They'll have less money and Washinton will give them nothing in return.

quote:
In the meantime, while we are trying to find our way in the night, we should re-regulate the financial industry to keep them from playing the shell game they were playing before it all went south.


Really, we should just stop loaning the money. They had a bunch of money and lost it. Instead of letting that be the end of it, smart benevolent people in Washington decided to give them more of our money.

There is a green solution- Solar and Wind


If we can make those things work, great! You should invest in it in fact. Just leave me and my paycheck out of it.
