Mr. Rickman, you wrote: “anyone who is conscious (and not an idealogue) knows that collapsing bridges and levees is bad for economic growth.”

We never said that we shouldn’t fix bridges and levees. What we did say was that fixing levees and bridges are maintenance expenses, and spending more on maintenance will never stimulate economic growth.

It’s the other way around: Economic growth, i.e. real jobs, will allow us to fix more bridges and levees

Mr. Rickman, Foreign investment is not “most of the money borrowed.” Since Dec. ‘07 foreign investors accounted for only 41.6% of new debt. You are correct that “foreign money is from “foreigners who want to invest in the US.”…so those dollars are sucked out of the economy because they cannot be invested in the economy when invested in government debt.

Ok- so it is a simplified explanation of a very complex process. Perhaps others who feel this simplification is unnecessary would be interested in making a training course on your views of our economic troubles to share with all of us. Obama was clearly asking for input, so you should consider giving yours as-well.

People are respected for making an effort to present a solution much more than those who simply complain about the work others are doing.

MR. OBAMA, Are you listening?! You threw out a Challenge to the Grassroots, Tea Party orgs. on What can be done to fix this Economy? Creating Jobs?

If you will Watch this Video, it's simply laid out for you, easy to understand.. by

Yes, stop trying to have the government do what the private sector can do better.

@rickfman borrowed money is even worse than money sucked out of the economy, duhhhh then we have to repay it with INTEREST and it costs us even more, do us all a favor and don't vote in november

Great Answer!

I know Mr. Obama asked for suggestions on how to help our economy but I truly believe that he knows what he is doing - and that is "destroy our economy" so that big government can then come to the rescue. He is a Global Socialist who wants to get the US knocked down to "level the playing field" so the poorer countries to can have some of our supposed unearned wealth.

@TheTess1105 Yes! These steps alone would save millions of tax-payer dollars!!

... Our local government has been forced by both Federal and State government to inact new laws that give more and more power to themselves. Taking away our property rights, increasing taxes and code enforcing us out of business. Without our liberties restored, we cannot help rebound our economy. It doesn't matter what Obama because in the end, all business creating starts at a local level. If the barriers to entry are too huge, then no growth is possible.

[Prosperity472]

Well said and articulated! You have also uncovered how elitists (mostly Liberal Progressives) like Mr. Rickfman think. The ironic pattern by these people is that they "know" everything and the rest of us are just "idealogues" which is why they "must" stay in power. However, they are the ones with no real experience and have not felt the wrath of tyrannical power of their own government.

This is where there can be improvement on your Open Letter. Everything you said is true, but...
