Gotcha. Stimulate the economy by putting a lot of money into savings. And pay down that national debt while making even more national debt.
SEE JAPAN.
Putting a lot of money into saving will tend to lead to a lot of loaning out of money and that will stimulate the economy. It will also tend to balance the trade deficit.
People sve because they lack confidence in the ecomy as to invest in it. Thisis no diffeence than the 70's recession which took so mnay out of the markets for a generation.That is what caused so mnay then to actually move inot small business then. The best thing the governamnt can do for jobs is to make the economy clear to those with money by having stable policies. Until then we will just float along with individauls saving and companies keeping the bottomline under cost restraints.The national debt is just one unstblizing fact making pweople hold onto waelth and noit risk it seeing futre taxes coming.

We could fix the economy overnight if we got rid of this stuff:
The high minimum wage that knocks out the first several rungs from the bottom of the ladder.
Historically the current minimum wage is low

The reason resources are scarce is the collapsing debt bubble. Printing money and giving it to everyone would directly address this problem.

Well we need to dump the current bureaucracy and start over.

The emergency unemployment extensions would not be needed if there were jobs to do.

Guess what that is the nature of the game going back to the good old days when that wasn't the case would be all nice and fine but...

Labor laws are there to keep people from getting exploited. And they are a big part of what made America rich.

Unions and the high wages that came with then are part of what made America rich. You are quit effectively arguing for wealth redistribution from the middle class to the rich. The end of this game is violent revolution. Do you want to go there?

Not really. The reason that people are out of work is the lack of money in the consumer economy. QE Quantitative Easing Is doing something about this but it is doing it in the form of increased debt and high debt is a big part of the problem.
Your plan would allow the monied few to treat America like they are treating China and India. My plan would dump the money into the pockets of everyone now and that would make the economy fow much better.
