Two things need to happen: The banking system must be stabilized and employment needs to increase.

Since we need $1.6T in infrastructure spending over the next 5 years anyway, we should be funding every responsible shovel-ready project immediately. The government should also be making direct loans to businesses and offering tax incentives for job creation.

Failing banks should be broken up and their assets sold to healthy banks. No more handouts...if you can swim on your own, great...if not, you die. The shareholders and bondholders pay first, with the government making up the difference.

Pass universal health care legislation and legislation that requires pensions to be fully funded. If that requires a temporary federalization of some pension plans, so be it.

Above all, STOP handing trillions of dollars to the same people who created this problem, expecting them to fix it.
