Below is my five minute list to help get the Economy moving forward…

• Open up drilling in ANWAR and other verbotten sites around the nation. It’s time to realize that a lot of our economic malaise is related to how the US is importing more and more energy and pumping less and less of our own. This will spark all sorts of NEW economic activity that will spin off many benefits through out the economy. Steel for pipes and machinery, drilling technology, etc, etc.
• Nuclear Power — let’s start building some more plants.
• Propose a new realistic set of EPA rules to promote Oil companies to build new gasoline refineries.
• Make Bush Tax Cuts permanent.
• Eliminate Capital Gains taxes.  Promotes stuff to move to most productive and appropriate leadership.
  
• Offer a simple one page alternative to the existing IRS code that would work for businesses and individuals. Don’t scrap the existing code — allow people to choose. Works in other countries.

Basically, do what you can do to promote more long term productive behavior. Don’t just spend money to buy votes in the short term. Moving money around with handouts doesn't really make for a more productive and successful economy.
