Some suggestions for Obama
In these troubled economic times, we have a huge "stimulus" package, a lot of hot air, and not a lot of careful thought... So, here are some recommendations for Obama on how to fix the economy more successfully:
Eliminate patent and copyright laws
Legalize drugs (well, it won't do a huge amount, but it will move the black market into the open air and bring in tax money)
Let the automakers go bankrupt (Chapter 11 is just a special reorganization anyway)
Eliminate the SEC and tell everyone that they buy stock at their own risk
Eliminate subsidies and lower barriers of entry for new businesses in all fields
I just can't accept that more debt is the solution to the problem of massive, worthless debt, or believe that we can simply spend our way out of the hole we spent ourselves into. No amount of reassurance that this will work is going to convince me. Am I crazy, or is everyone else?
