Ways to help fix the economy:

Make it illegal to treat people in emergency rooms with out legitimate emergencies, immigrants use it as a doctors office!

Trickle down is not working because the banks still wont lend, so you need to give the lower people money, everyone should get a fed tax freeze next year and believe me we will spend

Get rid of frivolous government grants. Some are literally insane, I got some money for college from them, because Im a female, isent half the population?

Calm down let them tax me on the camaro .. IDC. The point is they really should do it because many countries kill us with tariff taxes on our goods

BTW I am not american, I live here now. And believe me everything in UK and AUS is so much more for our stuff (from UK school in AUS)

LEVI's moving my things to America after Aus got charged by Aus airlines, not that its important and lets see my GM car in AUS was outrages, anything I bought that I buy here was more money even with conversions ... why are you so bitter? Im not trying to fight you on it . Im just saying.

Oh and now I live in the most expensive county in NY and getting taxed out the bum and its still cheaper here

Not bitter - just don't think you understand the impact of tarrifs. I have family in Australia and evrything is more expensive there because everything is taxed like crazy there. Doesn't matter if you buy a Holden, Toyota or BMW - they will all cost more there then here. Building walls are not the answer to anything.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllll no. Talk about opening the door for the Gov. to absolutely take over. This would certainly do that. Besides, I think their doing that now in a round about way.

I don't mean that the govt. should be involved in running the company. We just need to instill some confidence in the American people. Anyways, with all this bailout money going here and there, the USA has reinvented socialism almost overnight!

since we import more cars then we export, aggressive tarrifs will harm us more than other countries can hurt us with them, because for everyone 1 that someone won't buy overseas, 2 in america will.

We live in the greatest state in the union. It's people from out of state that don't understand the rather libertarian mindset that makes Floridians who we are that come in and screw crap up.

I just moved here. I've been working in the military all my life to get here. I'm good!!

I just moved here from San Antonio TX...the cost of living in Melbourne Beach is nearly the exact same. House prices here have gone way down.

Sorry if I came off unwelcoming to the out-of-towners. A lot of people new to the state complain that we have lackluster government services and we do but we also have low tax rates. I like it that way. I'll spend my money how I want to spend my money thank you very much.

I agree. That's not why I've been working to live here, but that's a bonus. Plus, read my sig...LOL...Silver said that at the Daytona display....
