Welcome to my first blog post. Yay! Go me! The idealistic, overjoyed, happy go lucky, internet user, that wants to post his/her thoughts and feelings about certain things that he/she feels needs addressed.
Well. No need to continue the suspense. Here we go!
Is it really that hard to correct this depleting economy? We all have those words burned into our sponge-like brains, "700 Billion Dollar Bailout". Do we really have to spend money to make money? 9 times out of 10, yes. The first step in any business, and America IS a business, is you have to buy something in order for your product to even reach the production line. This is that 1 in 10 times that you don't. The money we need to fix this "crisis", if you will, is already in the system. It's just not going to where it needs to go.
Our government spends billions upon billions of dollars every year on research that is not needed. Funding projects that really have no beneficial outcome that would constitute any real meaning for the project, and or, give back in what was given to them. If the government would stop wasting our tax dollars on silly projects and research that is irrelevant to the people and to our society as a whole, we could use those billions of dollars to bring back this economy. And if we continue to starve these useless projects, our economy will bounce back up into a surplus. Instead of the tax payers and other countries having to pay for this 700 billion dollar "bailout", our own money that's already accounted for will cover the cost in just a few years. Once that is paid off, then those billions of dollars would go into our deficit. Our dollar would actually be worth a dollar again.
With the deficit where its at, as of right now that totals $10,128,542,109,245.01 (and it's gone up a lot more by the you even got to this sentence), it will take a while for this to go down. But with billions of dollars feeding it, plus with the economical increase, this number will slowly but surely come down. This is not a fast solution, but it is the most effective, sure fire solution.
Are you sitting here nodding your head in agreement? Please tell me you are. I would hope that this idea doesn't come across as "radical" or some type of "whacko", theory. It makes too much sense to me.
But then again, since when was "sense" used on Capitol Hill?
