I agree. I think the best way to do it is to reduce the tax currently on the public. Which increases each persons Take home amount and helps them dig themselves out of a bad financial position.
then back to normal

It's a good time to be in college and in the Army Reserves

...especially when you only pay 20% tuition.

You need to do some more reading then because if that happens the American dollar is going to be used around the world as toilet paper. Having a load of toilet paper won't do you much good.

Saving only makes things worse. The problem is that more money needs to be Spent to keep companies in business. If your not spending money, companies aren't making money. If companies don't make money, they lay people off and go under.

We are no longer a production economy, we are a purchasing economy, therefore we have lost (and are continuing to lose) control politically and financially. If you do not have anything to sell or offer people, they will not continue to need you and you will lose power and control. The U.S. used to be such a superpower because we had what everyone wanted and the people involved worked hard at it. Nowadays, people do not want to work at anything. There is no working middle class any more, the majority of people are either doing B.S. jobs for little and getting government help or doing nothing for a handsome salary. Unless we regain a middle class and a production workforce, we will fail as an economy and then as a country. It is sad to see on the horizon, but it is coming.
