Answer 13

Massive investment in human capital. Take everyone who's been laid off from the housing and auto industry and put them to work. Government should sponsor solar energy initiative and install one in each home/office/building starting from areas that'll utilize it (Arizona/California)

Government should put auto workers to work on public transport vehicles that are fuel efficient. And other workers should start being put to work on fuel efficient vehicles.

Financiers should put to work on economic planning for all these investments. And should also account for any discrepencies in spending.

Answer 14

Prozac.  lol Sound like a lot of people thought you meant mental depression not economical depression.  The best way is for the economy to free up money so people tart spending again.  Nobody has money to spend with prices going through the roof.

Answer 15

Depends on the cause.  It's a very complicated issue.  (I know, just the vague answer you didn't want :-D).  Don't worry about it, that's the main thing.  Also....you might be more clear by writing in the word "economic".  The word "a" is easily missed.

Answer 16

Not having money be the only source to survive through everything, people more caring to do things out of their heart and not get something from it. To spread more loved with family member and friends, so that people don't feel abandoned. To be more open and honest to the people, but these are things that will never completely come in time. Life is a game, and thats what causes depression the most.

Answer 17

Get the gas prices under control so that they match what people earn.

Health care system that is accessible to everyone - self-employed, students, unemployed, etc.

Raise the minimum wage.

There are a million things all pressing down on us right now - it's going to break - you can see it everywhere - truck drivers leaving without paying for gas, raising the prices of even the most basic staples, like rice - frankly, it scares me to death.
