I agree but with one change. I would limit campaign spending and contributions. A limit of $100,000 should be enough for any congressman to explain himself to his constituents.You know we spend an awful lot of time arguing back and forth for our chosen Parties, But we are kidding ourselves America. Neither party is the answer to our problems because they are at the core of the problems.
The System is broken. Broken by a constant cycle of Campaigning and Career politicians. Broken because of a 2 party strangle hold on power.
I do not claim to have all the answers but I think 2 very important things that need to happen before America will be heading the right way are:
1 Campaign Finance.
We need to Limit the influence of Money in elections as much as we can. We could start by setting up a way to publicly fiance all campaigns equally. Compel or pay for Network coverage of debates. We should also shorten the campaign time significantly. 2 Years of it means that basically they are never not campaigning.
2 Term Limits.
We must end the career politician. Mainly because people are compelled to act differently when they have to think about re-election then when not. Maybe slightly longer terms but only 1 Term. For Both the President and Congress. No more running for re-election. We also need a more direct tool for removal of People who are not performing up to par, or not living up to their promises. Some kind of Popular Vote of No confidence where if a certain % of Americans. prolly like 3/4's vote no confidence it means we then hold A special Election to replace that person. Be it the President or A Congress person. Maybe let that person then run against the others to try and keep his or her job if he can get the votes.
Like I said I don't claim to have the answers I just know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Neither the Democrats or Republicans Nor anyone working inside our current system has them either, and to continue down our current path is definite National suicide.
Too many pages to tell if this has already been mentioned,
But I think our biggest problem is that we're not a producer of goods anymore.
I'm not speculating on whose fault it is that manufacturing has moved away, just that we need it back.
Urban sprawl is eating away any acreage we may have for farming, so we may as well hang that up as it will only get worse.
Who has the money? Who are we borrowing from? = Who has inherited our manufacturing?
Not too sure of the strength of our dollar but, other than that, Rabbi has set me straight on the manufacturing aspect.Too many pages to tell if this has already been mentioned,

well. the US is the largest manufacturing nation in the world. international competition and efficiency in our industry, the strength of the dollar relative to developing currencies, international outsourcing, higher wage and employment standards, unions, reduction in industrially skilled labor force, a growing services sector and poor government subsidy for heavy industry are among the reasons why manufacturing is only about 10% of our economy and not likely to get noticed in the crowd.
Sure you can. Replace the antiquated Corporate Tax with one that encourages corporations to build plants here in the US instead of China, Mexico, and Indonesia. We must be one of the few nations on earth that encourages investment abroad.Not too sure of the strength of our dollar but, other than that, Rabbi has set me straight on the manufacturing aspect.Too many pages to tell if this has already been mentioned,

Now, how can we increase the number of manufacturing JOBS?
Can we give new plants an incentive to open here, rather than overseas?

Japan subsidized its industries and look how well off they are. France has a horrible economy. They are right behind Spain and Ireland in unsustainable debt and enduring riots as they raise the retirement age to 62 from 60.
Gov't-Corporate partnerships are always bad news. From Jimmy Carter's Synfuels Corporation to Obama's GM, they are riddled with inefficiencies that make them uncompetitive in the real world.

Yes, it's called TARIFFS on IMPORTS.
Best incentive in the world.
The USA used that incentive to promote industrialization in this nation for hundreds of years and it worked beautifully.
You are right.
A tariff and a subsidy are really just two sides of the same coin.
If tariffs worked so well E.Germany would be an economic powerhouse.
