Want a fix to this nation's economic problems?
Advertisements [?]
1. Create more, stable or fluid, middle class paying jobs in the US. This will ensure people don't need government services and as such:

2. Reduce the amount of money government spends on various needless services from across the board.

Corporations wouldn't have to pay more in taxes.

It would compensate for any tax cut given to middle class Americans, because more of us would be working meaning and cut would be made up and more by the quantity of people working.

Government stops spending asinine amounts of money.

Debt gets paid back.

World unequivocally loves us again because we can provide for our own AND do proper globalization too.

And pay good workers with good wages, which only helps our economy more. It's an incentive - certainly used to be. Constant cost cutting only leads to deflation, which will eventually spiral and shatter the whole global economy. Or even a step further, given people already buy and wear t-shirts to advertise some TV show's logo or product offering: Nobody can pay to work; people go to work to get paid.

It's going to take time, and corporations are as much America as Sara Lee's pie and Major League Baseball these days.

Or maybe I'm missing the obvious; I tend to do that too. :(
