Ask me and I would say that the US should start a government project to lay more rails for transport trains, and replace the trucking transport system, that will not survive in the post oil world that is looming. US needs a better train transportation system. - Stuff like that would work a bit.

@arnthorla

I don't want government to start any projects, because they waste most of the money.

Example is the high speed rail project here in CA 350 millions dollars already spent in 10 years with nothing to show for it!!!!

1) Consumption would go down. Temporary economical slowdown (at least).

2) You would end up with a lot of desperate people. People that have nothing to lose. Might come knocking on your door. Who knows?

3) Yes, that would be nice. But this has been mishandled by the US government for many years. And not only in the US it has been the standard way to operate all over the world. And now we are facing the results.

4) The US debt is too big. US is bankrupt.

@arnthorla

1. People would have 10,000 in they pocket to spend. consumption will go up.

2. With people spending some of that money , more jobs will be created

3. cut spending and a wasteful government and you can decrease the debt.

4. yes I agree the us is bankrupt!!!!!!!!! with no end in sight

What if it is too late???

Hundreds of thousands and millions of illegal aliens pour into Cali.

They are fed, clothed, educated and medicated and incarcerated into a stupor.

Millions more illegal aliens are pouring into the state and need to be taken care of at your expense.

Every waking minute is a joy for them. They smoke weed & drink beer and make babies and scream racism if you don't like it.

Illegals don't work but are living off taxpayers.

They like it when you get out there and work & pay taxes for them.

Nice questions. To come to pass greed and blind control would need to be eradicated. But such things are insatiable in humans.

1) Consumption would be more expensive when you would use that money, so that would be where they would be taken back from you. How ever, consumption would be more selective. (That might be a good thing.)

2) Jobs wont be made just from spending money. Just look at how that has worked until now. There have been loads of money thrown at the economy.

3) Well yes US needs to cut spending. But it is too late. There is no escape at this point. It risks a big recession.

4) Sadly.

Yes this is a popular belief in the US. What you will experience in a few years is a wake up call from these ideologies that have been prevalent in the US. Certain systems require more cohesion than the private sector can provide.- Take the cellphone coverage, power coverage, health care, infrastructure, the state deals better with those things - You the common people have been sold this idea that private is better than state. But there needs to be a balance between state and private.

Mighty Mike, we would be allot better off if we used your recommendations. Our government just doesn't make any sense. I'm with you all the way !

[veritasfiles]

What if I had wings and could breathe in outerspace? What sense does it make to talk about non-realities? If we did things right, things would go right, but that's not going to happen. Reality is the name of the game, and all of the things you're talking about have no place in it. It's unfortunate, but it's true.
