The best one would be the overdue correction of the minimum wage. It was set at $7.50 years ago, and inflation has made it too los to keep a small family out of serious debt. Push it up to $10 per hour: consumer demand, Federal and state tax income, and employment will rise fast. Of course, the people who plot to make Obama and the country fail will scream bloody murder—just like they have at every single mimum wage increase in history—but history confirms their dire predictions never come true.
@greschthat’s true and quite insightful. and after WWII there was the GI bill, the building of the interstate highway system and other government spending programs.unfortunately the other way to stimulate the economy is with endless wars. which i think is immoral.
You do understand that inspite of the hogwash from Rush you regurgitate, Obama’s policies ARE working, don’t you? The budget deficit will be below a Trillion dollars for the first time since 2008. The Dow is approaching record highs, and in January, 2013 the Federal Government took in 2.6 Billion more than it spent.
In spite of the best efforts of Republicans, and the lies of fools like you, we are recovering from the disaster inflicted on us by Bush and the Republicans.
