Perhaps one could try-
eliminating Obamacare
cutting corporate taxes- the highest in the world
reducing EPA regulations
stopping the war on coal
allowing oils shale development and offshore drilling
muzzling the trial lawyer's association
corporate consumption tax
Just a few suggestions, given that Obama has failued miserably using the opposite approach. But then again, libs like impoverishing the nation, as it creates more democrats.

Why would one want to eliminate Obamacare, which reduces government costs and provides HC to many?
Statutory Corporate taxes might be the highest in the world but EFFECTIVE Corporate taxes are at a 60 year low. The fact that corporations pay income taxes isn't a drag on the economy.
Why would one want to reduce EPA regulations that have been so effective at keeping the air, water and land clean? Yes, it may be a cost to corporations but it's a reasonable cost and we have had these regulations since 1972, with booming economies after.
There is no "war on coal." Yet coal needs to meet clean air standards so we breathe better. I don't see why conservatives want to reduce the costs to utilities and shift that cost to everyone else in terms of new cancers and health costs.
We already have oils shale development and offshore drilling. In fact, it's at a all time high.
The trial lawyer's association is no drag on the economy and has been around in good times as well.
What about a corporate consumption tax?
