How I Would Solve The Economic Crisis?

I cannot understand why it is so difficult for the powers in America to fix the economic crisis. I can barely watch the news today without wanting to scream. After all it took me all of 5 minutes to figure out the economic solution: Bring the jobs home. That's it folks. Simple and obvious. What is the biggest problem facing americans today? Jobs are becoming sparce because people are losing their jobs due to foreign employment.



Why are jobs going overseas? After NAFTA was passed the corperations moved many jobs overseas to save money. People in Mexico work 10 times cheaper and just as well as US citizens. So how to we get jobs back into the US? Tax the companies who send work overseas. Companies are looking to save money where they can to please the top executives while the average employee and patron suffer. Its as though they feel they can charge the same or more for their products while paying substancially less for exployees to process their products. Thus, the only people to win are the top executives who make the big bucks.

Taxing the big businesses would produce two possible outcomes. Number one, it would imput more tax dollars into the economy and boost the country out of the recession. Number 2, it would discourage businesses to send their job opportunities elsewhere, thus creating more jobs in the US and boosting the economy with the increase in job opportunity.

The Epic War between the Elephants and Donkeys

As I have been watching the recent events since the 2009 elections I've been fascinated with the continual onslaught against the democratic party. It seems to be that the republicans are finding any and all reason to fight against the changes proposed by President Obama.

I suppose the most pressing thought on my mind is the republican reaction to the new stimulus package. Before the bill was put into motion the instant rejection of this plan was evident. The biggest question I have is why can they not propose contructive critisism and ways to improve this bill (WITHOUT the use of pork barrel spending) rather that the continuous "It's not going to work" summation. The republican party had their chance when they supported President Bush's stimulus package the prevous year. Sadly it did not yield positive results and it seems the republicans are worried about looking bad. I say give the bill a chance to work before being so pessimistic. Then, if it does not work, then you can say what you want. Meanwhile, if the stimulus package does work then the repubicans will really look like fools in the public's eye.
