I've seen a couple threads related, including a save yourself, and I usually see threads of just brainstorm sessions of how you'd turn a failing business around. I thought lets see if we can do this with a bigger business, the enomomy. Obviously keep the politics crap out of it. Mods, if you don't think this is possible, feel free to delete the thread!

No politics!! I don't care who you voted for, or what you think about any policitical stance.

Objectively, looking at the economy as a business, and seeing it's current state, what would provide solutions to any of the problems.

Current Probs:
Unemployment
Debt
Inflation/Deflation
Industry meltdown
Housing market / Foreclosures
Etc....

Pick one and attack it
