I have heard many people talking about how it is either the Democrats' fault or the Republicans' fault that the American economy is turning downhill, but who's to blame doesn't matter, but the main point is the economy is sinking downhill. I want to have a constructive discusion with everyone who reads this iReport about how you think the economy should be fixed.

 

 

 

 

Rules

 

 

 

 

1. Only post constructive comments that do not blame any political party whatsoever.

 

 

 

 

2. Try posting new ideas that are reasonable and attainable with enough work. Don't waste your time posting anything unrealistic.

 

 

 

 

3. Don't use profane language or speak down on anyone that's commenting.

 

 

 

 

Here is an example of a comment that shows my idea for a solution: I think that the american economy needs to be fully restructured in a way that it has a firm base in government investment projects like roads, bridges, and canals. This provides a base for reducing unemployment while improving the easiness for trade and travel. I also believe that the government should invest in green energies like solar, hydrothermic, and wind. That way, the government can further reduce unimployment, while building a firm cost efficient platform for future energies. Third I think that the government should create a government based insurance system that offers more insurance, while charging less capitol for that insurance. That way, consumer confidence will rise, which leads to more investments from the people. When unimployment is reduce through government investment projects, there is a greater base for investment which will further create an increase in trade and government tax revenue. This will spark of a chian of investment and reduction in unimployment which will send America, and the rest of the world back into prosperity.
