I realize "there are no easy answers" and "those who think there are easy answers don't fully understand the situation", etc., etc., blah, blah, blah...
That said, here's the two step solution / easy answer to fixing the economy:
1. HIRE PEOPLE.
2. PAY PEOPLE.
There. Done.
Pressure companies to hire people by using penalty taxes or reduced business incentives, as well as higher tariffs on products produced by American companies that import their goods due to overseas production. That is, treat American companies that outsource our jobs overseas, like foreign importers.
When companies hire more Americans AND pay them more (reducing profits from the high billions to the low-to-mid billions - therefore STILL generating huge profits), Americans will have more disposable income to then turn around and spend on all the useless junk and bullshit you want them to buy. This, in turn, will allow companies to continue to turn profits, which will, in turn, allow companies to continue to pay people a TRUE living wage, which they, in turn, can spend on more useless junk and bullshit, etc., see how this works?
Turns out, hiring people and paying them is actually pro-business and pro-American - imagine that?

Agreed! I don't understand the reason poor and yes unemployed Republications fear that your suggestions will drive US corporate executes out of the country. Why don't they see that US corporate executes already operate in a lax, low regulation environment yet they still open factories and call centers in China and India and plant empty offices in Switzerland calling it their headquarters. And I don't understand why it falls on Congress and the President to create jobs - the US corporate executes are holding job hostage - you can't just go out an create job out of thin - you must demand the US companies hire US citizens and yes, pay them!
