What can be done to fix our economy?

Question

What should Americans do?

What could our government do?

What do YOU think should be done and why?

Answer 1

Every worker / employee should give a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. Every employer should give a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Everyone should be mindfull of those around them who can't work and give aid where they can. This should be done joyfully without grudging. Everyone should be mindful of the environmrnt (all aspects of it) in which they live and help to make it better. Get out of debt and remaun out of debt (economists will dissagree on this one).

Governments should have policies and actions that aid economic growth and control interest rates (Interest rates? but no one has any debt).

What should be done? Vast question.

Answer 2

Lower gas prices and help the people in danger of losing their homes and jobs to keep them, encourage American companies to do business here instead of abroad to keep our money here in this country instead of sending it to rich oil countries. Get control of government spending so we do not have to send most of our earnings to pay taxes, and get an affordable and practical health system in place. Get more affordable means for people to feed their families and keep their cost of living to reasonable levels, there are way too many people in debt just trying to feed their families because the greed of some companies that want all profit and aren't willing to pay fair wages for their workers, WalMart  for one. Those are few things off the top of my head, you would have to elect me as president if you want the full plan.

Answer 6

There are so many band aids on it now it is better to let it die and start over . With a currency backed by silver not debt .

Answer 7

As Americans, we should stop being so consumed by expensive styles of cars, SUVs, ect., and buy environment-friendly and gas efficient cars. We should also become more acception of different races/religions, etv. because then the Middle East might be more willing to give us gas. And finally, we should elect Barrac Obama as president.

The government should first turn Democratic and then stop making abortion and religion such an issue and turn their attention to the economy. They should stop interacting with lobbyists (they already have enough money) and work to lower the gas prices and bring the nation together. I guarentee the economy will improve is a Democrat is elected president!

Answer 8

I am playing big on oil trading. I’m from Morgan Stanly, or Goldman & Sachs, or any big firms on the Wall Street .

I bought millions and millions of barrels of oil when they cost $60--$100 a barrel. I expect to make a kill when I sell. But right now it’s only $135 a barrel. So here is my difficulty No.1 :

Congress is now investigating on oil speculation, I am afraid of being caught.  But if I sell them right now, I would end up with little or no profit since the trading fees and hedge fund managing cost are not cheap.

I already request my agents send  the spin out to the media, like: “Oil future looks high, expecting to be in the range of $200 a barrel soon. ”   But it does not work price up as fast as I expected.

So my question is this:  How do I corner the market price up in time so not to get caught by Congress.?

For your info:   Prof. Michael Greenberger’s testimony before Senate makes me very nervous.  He said: ‘If speculation were reined in and trading rules tightened, the cost of crude oil could drop 25 percent.” http://www.mcclatchydc.com/staff/les_blu...

My lobby firm can work Republican party to stall passing the laws, but  I am not sure for how long. I am very fearful and worried. What are the options for me ? Please advise.
