Bush and the economy

Almighty Colin · 04-14-2003

The economy is slow. Some people say Bush should "fix the economy". What should he do? What would you put in the suggestion box?

Government sweatshops

kveldulv it works for the Chinese!!

Obviously I think tax cuts would be the best, but not sure how to handle it. Since this is tax season now, and I am seeing how much I have to pay in... its UGLY!!

One thing I do know, I need a tax break!!! So I would imagine a bunch of other people do as well!!

i think it depends on your time horizon. politicians think mostly in the short-term, although I think Bush is on the right track in reducing taxes.

In the big picture, if it were up to me I would:

1- SERIOUSLY cut the pork out of gov't like a good ceo would
2- legalize drugs and tax them (invest in treatment with some of the proceeds)
3- correct the education system so we can crank out productive citizens
4- cut taxes
5- create an environment where we reward achievers
6- learn to take the good with the bad and give up the utopian fantasies

This is a terrible misconception about our goverment. The president really has very little control over the economy directly. Indirectly through policy he influences it... but directly he really has a lot less to do with it than the federal reserve does.

Just my 2 cents.

Now.. what is Alan Greenspan gonna do about the ecological nightmares that we're faced with these days?

Mike AI · 04-14-2003

Hoop, you are very right. The reality though is people think he does have a lot to do with it, and democrats will try to hang him with it.

What ecological nightmares are we facing? Spotted owl??
