Robert Reich should move to a socialist country. I hate everything that little man spews.
This is a time to start a business. Take some risk, invest in yourself and do your own thing. You can get stuff on the cheap now, and start your business slowly. Yeah it will be hard. The economy will pick up and you will be golden. Don't wait for someone to "give" you a job. Make your own job. Stop working for others and make your own future.
IMO the single (& simplest) thing our government should do is to make college tuition tax deductible. The by doing this you REALLY invest in the county and advanced technology with remarkable long term benefits. Giving people checks is the dumbest thing you can do. The money disappears and doesn't stimulate a damn thing. NEVER HAS AND NEVER WILL. Everyone wants it fixed "today"...it ain't gonna happen. A full tax deduction is easy to implement helps the right people (the ones that will bail out this nation in the end) and does the right thing in terms of educating the masses. Of course this is not a cure-all it will take further investment in technology areas and defense to make this country great again but it is a good start.
