Easy Peasy sequester fix, ala Alan Grayson:

going to solve the essential structural problems in our economy -- like outsourcing, importing too much, relying on expensive, nonrenewable forms of energy and dealing with new economic realities like computers replacing jobs with out-of-date solutions like stagnant wages.

First step: figure out the real causes of the problem. Only after you have figured that out can you solve the problem. The sequester will make things worse. It won't solve the problem. That is because it does not fix what is wrong but just moves the pain from one part of our economy to another.

We need to reduce the number of hours in our workweek without reducing wages. Workers do not need to work as long to produce the same result. All workers should benefit from the labor-saving devices and structures. The profits from computers, etc. should not all be going to Wall Street of the bosses. And we should not import so much cheap stuff from other countries without charging import taxes on it. Our trade policies only benefit the rich. They don't benefit the people who need work to make a living.
