Our economy has been stagnant for going on 5 years with employment, housing and job growth taking center stage.
The reason is no wants to do what needs to be done to turn America around because it would be pain full to a lot of people.
By the numbers:
Cut Government by 25%.
Cut Government pay by 15%.
Leave the Bush tax cuts continue.
Cut corporate taxes by 30%.
Reduce the amount of regulations affecting corporations by 50% for 3 years.
Legalize and tax marijuana.
Raise the gas tax by 10 cents per gallon for 3 years.
Create a tax surcharge of 3% for 4 years against all income including welfare.
We need to bite the bullet, let the cliff come, tighten our belts and in 3 years we will be better off then trying a band aid approach. Plus, corporations will be hiring and new companies will start-up. If we have to live through 11% unemployment, the future will be brighter.
