I wouldn't call myself an expert but these 5 suggestions could be a start:

1) Eliminate corporate income taxes, especially if you are also going to hit companies with all these energy taxes.

2) Get companies out of the business of providing healthcare benefits.

3) Index Social Security benefits to inflation, and extend the retirement age, allowing a big cut in payroll taxes for the middle class.

4) Create government-funded "innovation prizes" for key technology challenges.

5) Give universities incentives to create more science geeks, and offer grad students free-floating fellowships to choose whatever field they see as the best market match for their skills.

I think my grandpa killed somebody once, but he never liked to talk about Kent State.

I think what 'clams meant was to have the gov't put the fake gold/diamonds into the pizza, then when the people start to eat it they'll find the gold/diamonds and think the economy is good.

Sorry for doubting you clams.  Brilliant.  Scrooge McDuck'esque brilliance.

    STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY
forgive all student loan debt. I would immediately go out and stimulate the economy by dropping a fracking lot of money on something.

Legalize pot, but tax the hell out of it.

Use the funds to create vast socialistic infrastructure programs to build roads, bridges, waterways, etc.

The trickle up effect will be enormous.

This is kinda my plan for fixing everything.  Just legalize everything and Sin Tax the hell out of it.  Gambling, drugs, prostitution, etc.  Would make it much safer and much more profitable for the Gov.  :dunno:

I love the hell out of this idea. Also lower the drinking age (srsly why 21?).
Also I'd think opening more factories to make things in the U.S. and not relying on China would help, as well as creating jobs.
