"A permanent tax cut or tax break for corporations that close shops overseas and bring jobs here."
That's the only idea from your list that has a chance of helping. It's still a much weaker option than the government simply hiring one million people and putting them to work.
Putting them to work to do what?
Do you think they're picky about what they do?
Sadly, many are.
In my home town (Nassau County, Long Island) there are help wanted signs at every 7-11, Khols department stores, Home Depot, etc.....I dont blame them for not wanting those jobs...especially after making twice or three times the income......but the truth is, given a choice of making 405 a week on unemployment or 400 a week digging a ditch....or 400 a week selling candy and coigarettes....I would expect them to take the unemployment.....especially seeing as it ALSO gives them the time to interview.
Your idea, although has merit, will do very little for the middle class......
