How to fix our economic problems?

Question

I think the following wil help. Firs of all we have very dumb politicians running our governments in Congress. That is the biggest problem of all. To solve any economic problem , we need smart people in government not dumb senators or Congressmen or women.

1. End corn for ethanol. This will end the inflationary pressure on food prices and wages. Restaurants are feeling the pinch from high prices. Also this translates all the way down the food chain. Dumb move by Congress to use corn as source of energy.

2. Start oil exploration in coastal regions because Mexico is next door doing the same thing. Technology has improved over the years to prevent accidents. Open Alaska up because humans can indeed dig oil with the animals nearby.

3. OPen mobile child delivery service. This will save lots of money and don't need to be in a hospital.

4. Fire all the imcumbent politicians.

5. Abolish the FTC for their failures in stopping big oil mergers. Now, chemical companies are merge

Answer 1

Your chioces would lead to the demise of this country.

To fix our problems, we must simply listen to the wise words of Al Gore.

And I do give a d**n about this nation.  It's the best f***ing nation int he world.  It's idiots like you that have created this mess.  But that's the great part about this nation, everybody has a say (even idiots like you) and eventually, the right choices will be made.

Answer 2

I think there is merit in what you say.  But of course its a little simplistic.

Firing the incumbents for a start, sound blissful, but there is quite a bit of intelligence within those walls.  

Corn is absolutely the wrong choice for energy production, as you mentioned it has put huge pressure on food prices already.  Ok its carbon neutral, but people need to eat.  The only reason its being used is because it is congruent with the petroleum industry.  Hydrogen is an alternative that will work. (I won't go into it, there are still some storage issues that are being resolved with nano-lattice technology, but its pretty much ready)

I think this oil in the deep wells in alaska, represents such a dilemma for the aging environmentalist,  as people (even greenies) have become much more economically savy, the notion of oil in Alaska, makes people both cringe and nod their head.  Good interim measure.  But lets face it the people who fund the Federal Reserve Bank don't want petrol to become cheaper agian.  Its all about projected fiscal profits, And they will not let them drop ever.

Mobile MidWives? I dunno, its not a problem here in Australia. but hey cool, good resource to have I guess.

Illegalise all interem financial and holdings companies associated with resources.  So many people have bought futures in oil, petroleum, that public investors almost own more than there will be produced. This kind of economics is rediculous. when you think about it.  I buy now what you will have later, I buy at todays prices, but you'll credit me with tomorrows.  This in it self is inflatory.  Feeze all futures stocks and allow the companies to buy them back over 2 years.

Answer 5

It cant be fixed, the majority of people are too stupid to see whats wrong, its society itself, american culture in a way. Above all it is capitalism, an economy that is based on profit becomes greedy, there is no fix in human greed. Unless america moves away from this type of economic system it will collapse in a few years time. The technology and resources to change direction of this country are out there, but coporations just wont accept the fact that they wont be making the same kind of profit, they are destorying this country with their greed, is it really necessary to make 10 billions dollars PROFIT in a year, NO. All it does is go into the hand of a few, GREED. Wake up people and stop being taken advantage of, awareness is the first step in taking charge to change this country, without it we have to abandon capitalism and create a revolution, of course this will never happen, and so americans will suffer.
