Economic Stimulus

After all is said and done, every avenue explored, all tricks tried, and debates come close to duels in the streets, the only solution for long-term positive and productive stimulus is, "Put Americans to work PRODUCING what Americans use and consume".

I know and understand that I've pounded this issue to death. But, it doesn't take an MIT Graduate, nor a Philadelphia Lawyer to figure out what caused the present mess, and what it'll take to correct and stablize our economy.

Tax breaks, Tax cuts, and giving a "one-time" stimulus check to indivduals will only serve to have a "short-term" effect on our economy. We MUST correct that which caused the mess in the first place. Otherwise, our present economic situation will repeat itself for years to come.

Americans "NEED", "MUST" have, the opportunity to earn a "living wage" through pro-longed job growth. We "MUST" establish a continuing growth in the job market to enable us to keep pace with population growth.

Our jobs "Must" span the entire job market, including a continuous demand for employees in the industrial sector. We can't all work in the service sector. Someone has to produce something in order to purchase the services offered by the service sector.

The games being played in Washington concerning our economy make no sense. Their plans will create nothing more than "short-term" fixes to "long-term" problems. In reality, Washington's plans will, in my opinion, produce a socialistic government, forcing Americans to be forever dependent on government. This includes corporate America as well.
