There is no quick fix for the economy. But here are a few suggestions. I'm sure that some of them will get flamed.

#1 Put an end to lobbying in Washington so that corporations do not control the politicians. If you do not bring down the corporations running this country then you cannot fix the economy.
#2 Round up all illegal immigrants and their prodigy and send them back to their own country. Hundreds of thousands of jobs would become available to legal citizens. The point is not whether an average citizen would take the job, the point is it will be available. This would also ease the strain on our medical institutions.
#3 Pass a realistic minimum wage. The current wage is completely inadaquate.
#4 Outlaw outsourcing. A telemarketing job is a job and quite frankly I am sick and tired of talking to foreigners who cannot speak English.
#5 Reasses EVERYONE who receives SSI. If they are not disabled then make them go back to work.
#6 Round up all the Bankers and Wallstreet execs who received bailouts and make examples of them.
#7 End all wars and close all foreign bases.
#8 Cap all Social Security checks. If you haven't paid it in then you shouldn't draw it out. Grandpa worked 50 years and paid in a total of $35,000 in to SS, but yet he gets $3500/month until he dies? In one years time he collects $42000. $7000 more than he ever paid in.
#9 Cap and reduce the fees that doctors and hospitals charge for services. After all they are just "practicing medicine".
#10 Last but not least. Take the government completely out of the economic loop and leave it to the people.

!#. Arrest all the members of the federal reserve and their offshore affiliates.
#2. seize all their assets
#3. close the doors on all corporate lobbying
#4. dissolve all corporations where no one can hide
#5. do full audits of the wealthiest 5% and make them pay 50%
#6.arrest all the generals at the pentagon from every branch and all the upper management from the military contractors and run an audit on both sides as you seize all their assets.
#7.Execute the last 4 presidents and their immediate chain of command and seize all their assets
#8.round up and remove all Illegal aliens and their children from the US and ship them???? doesn't matter not our problem as long as they are off US soil.
#9. repeal every law that is unconstitutional and put a lock on the constitution and the bill of rights, so no one can alter it ever again to fit their agenda.
#10. use all seized assets to recover and restore gold and silver bullion to the US reserves.
#11.pull all military bases from around the world and permanently close them, then selling them to the highest bidder.
#12.release all non violent drug users from prison and arrest all prison wardens and share holders and anyone connected to the unconstitutional creation of the gulags.
#13.set up retractable trust funds for every qualifying US citizen over the age of 18 in the form of a stimulus for the amount of $1,000,000, payed out in quarterly percent dividends, with job development incentive for 5 years, this would restore confidence and take all the pressure off the people to help let them grow.

After the 5 years their trust funds revert back to the government and only the revenues from the taxes collected will have been required as payment for the use of the fund.

make illegal all closed door sessions of government with complete disclosure of all laws and install safeguards to stop tyranny from happening ever again in every state

Are There No Prisons? Are There No Workhouses? lol ok. In some aspects, I believe you are confusing "hand outs" with "opportuninties" that your own country has founded it's own existance on( land of opportunity, melting pot and so on......).

You cannot support an industrialized nation with no middle-class( period). Your middle class has been gutted because the corporations that helped to build the country have been able to manipulate your government into gutting that middle-class( outsourcing jobs and factories overseas so you no longer produce anything domestically). LOL and "that's capitalism baby" lol. I love that line.

You are stuck relying on the missguided notion that the rich will create jobs( tax breaks for the top 1% and said "corporations") while they are only interested in protecting what they have, ( they are not stupid, they are not gonna invest in a country that no longer produces anything,("Hello- Supply and Demand") The US has turned solely into a consumer based society that produces nothing tangible( for themselves or any other country) anymore. IE: you have no longer have any combination of home based industries that can sustain your population or way of life indipendantly now.

The last 5 years have shown that reliance on the banking industry and stock markets( as an economy) is a no win situation because they gamble with pretend money and pay themselves with the taxpayers earnings( take your actual money out of your pocket and put it in their own lol).

So what's your real fix?
