As your next president, what are the top things I should do to help our economy?

Question

1. Bring back the strength of the dollar by:

a) paying down , and off, our massive debt.

b)contrary to popular opinion, the oil shock now is not simply about dwindling supply, its about the erosion of the strength of the dollar, unchecked greed of big oil and oil speculators fleeing the dollar. If you pay down the debt, you build value/credibility in the dollar again. to those who say 'just pring more money, you can't as the M1 money supply grows to great and you have rampant inflation. So instead, raise interest rates to PULL INVESTORS BACK TO THE DOLLAR.3. start a massive works project, instead of interstate highways, make it energy independence related his time

4. diversify the economy, we are ne exporters of food, technology and weapons (therefore we need world fear to sell our wares, we should become the leader in world clean energy development, for example)5. reward start up businesses with tax breaks and incentives6.fund our education system for RESULTs, be best and brightest

Answer 1

Your thoughts are too muddled to become my next president.  

Our economy is in trouble because of governmental meddling, with the money supply, socialism, and insurmountable debt.

So we're crashing, and who knows if the next leader will be called president anyway.

Answer 2

get off of yahoo answers and talk to some real economic advisers.... mr. president!

Answer 3

Stop Ben Bernanke from destroying the value of our currency!!

Answer 4

I would not manage the economy to the extent you suggest but only concentrate on  a few areas.

Balance the federal budget

Do something to control health care cost which is a problem for people and making our industries non competitive.

Put in tax incentives to increase fuel efficiency in cars and fund research into alternative energy sources.

Other than that I would let market determine the value of the dollar.If we try to artificially increase to we will just worsen our trade deficit and slow our growth.
