The central problem we need to tackle is lack of demand

Why no demand?

• The middle class was left by the cowboy capitalists with a huge debt load and few jobs
• Business won't invest if they see no one wanting to buy.

How to create demand?  Government.

• Put ideology aside and create a huge jobs WPA-esque jobs program
• Eliminate  payroll taxes on the first $20K of income, and make it up with more taxes on (taxable)  incomes over $250K
• Give states intrest-free loans to (re-)hire teachers, police, fire-fighters, sanitation workers.  Repay when state tax revenues are higher.

Resist Shibboleths

• Current or pending legislation is not the problem.  The problem was and is cowboy capitalism, which simply stole and continues to steal from good and trusting American middle class
• Don't extend tax cuts for the wealthy - they save most of their income.
