Fixing the Economy For Dummies

How to fix the US Economy.

Option 1: Stimulate

Step 1: Instead of trying to fund tons of unemployment programs, pump money back into corporations and businesses (like Wall Street financials, etc.) to help them help the nation. They'd primarily help by hiring more people by creating new programs, enhancing existing programs, and growing.

Step 2: When you try this and it doesn't really work try it again! It's bound to work sometime if you just do it over and over and over again!

Option 2: Create

Step 1: Think of some super cool industry that the US currently doesn't have, or is still in the early developing stages.

Step 2: Pump tons of money into existing and new companies in it to stimulate its growth.

Step 3: Leave alone for a while and just let it do its thing. Pretty soon it should grow huge and hire tons of people. Look at Japan's robotics industry for example.

Option 3: Capitalism

Step 1: Don't do anything! Stop funding existing government programs that are deeply involved in the economy (except for the regulatory ones) and then leave capitalism to its own devices. See the Great Depression and Harry Truman for examples.

Option 4: Communism

Step 1: When all of the above fails. Look to the Soviets, Marx, and Stalin/Lenin for examples.
