Economic Stimulus Proposal

[Coyote_Bandit]

(1) Unlimited funding for small business loans (with easier qualifying and repayment terms} and

(2) Medicare health coverage available to small business owners/employees.


Big business isn't going to create enough jobs in the near future to resolve the employment challenge. That means that much of the job creation is going to have to come from small business and government. The two greatest obstacles for small businesses to overcome are access to capital and health care for workers/owners.

1. You are correct.

Adding #3: Rewriting the bankrupcy laws.

2. President Obama should institute a 'Moon Shot' program for clean, renewable energy production

The United States has to take a leadership roll in this area and become the Center of Excellence for the whole world in clean, safe energy production.

6. Too

We must take conservation measures. Insulate existing houses, better mpg cars, any electric appliances made to operate at 50% of present usage. Only by doing so can we ever produce enough alternatives to fossil fuels to keep the world from running out of energy.

Insulating houses takes manpower and material: homegrown stuff.

New appliances can be made here, and of course the alternative fuels.

9. New energy programs will train the next generation of problem solvers to solve problems

It will siphon off our best and brightest thinkers from the Defense industry (whose purpose is to kill and destroy) and direct their efforts to improving the human condition.

I will be much more comfortable with the United States selling energy technology to the world rather than bombs and missiles.

10. hmmmm

Just a thought.... if the explosions from rocket motors and bombs could be controlled/manipulated
to power an electrical generator, say a flywheel or something, we could turn those swords into plows?

Coal and nuke power use controlled heat to turn generators (flywheels) and the internal combustion engine uses controlled explosions.......

Fuel from salt peter and etc?

3. So healthcare coverage tied to employement becomes more entrenched. Fuck that.

[Coyote_Bandit]

5. Or

making Medicare coverage available to small business owners/employees is the first step toward national health care.

Got a better idea that can be ***immediately*** implemented to provide access to health care to small business owners/employees?

Single payer health care is a great idea. Problem is it ain't gonna be implemented anytime soon.

4. The BIGGEST obstacle for small businesses today is not enough customers.........

are purchasing their products or services. The second biggest obstacle for a manufacturing small business is competing with foreign slave wage and lower wage produced products by nations that have no environmental regulations or controls.

7. Perhaps I

wasn't clear. Access to capital and health care are the two greatest obstacles for small business creation.

Please tell, how do you propose creating jobs?

[Double T]

11. Shutoff the ease of allowing foreign made goods to come into this country.

Require trade equality between trading nations; no equality in trading equals no trading of goods or services with that nation. Enact American content laws which require a manufacturer, distributor, retailer or seller of products and services to have at least 75% American content for the collective products and services manufactured and/or sold. The health care system needs a total overhaul with a national single payer system administered by each individual state; the wall street health care system is full of crooks. The corrupt banking system requires heavy duty regulations and overhaul which are mandated by a Congress that isn't corrupt. Small business capitalization would be mandated by Congress and funded by a bank through a qualifying acceptable business plan. Free market capitalism does not work. Unless drastic measures are taken, expect our entire economy and financial system to collapse. Humongous trade deficits and exorbitant national debt are no longer justifiable as a means of saving our nation.

12. You can stimulate the economy until you turn blue

You can stimulate the economy until you turn blue. It is not going to make even the least bit of difference
