U.S. economic problems are 100% governmental and could be changed by a different Administration overnight.
Here are the replacement policies (just in case anyone in DC actually *wants* a robust economy):
Approve the Keystone Pipeline.
Approve the Columbia River fresh-water aquaduct from the mouth of the Pacific Ocean (where fresh-water is currently dumped wastefully into the salt-water ocean) down to California’s drought-stricken Central Valley and LA.
Approve more LNG export terminals (Germany, Japan, and the Ukraine need *lots* of natural gas from non-Russian suppliers).
Use federal law to override state/city zoning red tape, end healthcare red tape, and give away a little of the massive stockpile of federal land to create Oklahoma-style land rushes.
Wouldn’t hurt to give amnesty for those holding their U.S. funds offshore if they repatriate said funds into U.S. investments, either...$1 Trillion in U.S. assets resides offshore currently.
Bring that money home, Baby!
You forgot, “Until further notice, no department, bureau, or agency of the US government shall offer, promulgate, consider, discuss or issue any regulation of any kind upon any topic. Violators, whether persons or groups of persons, will be deemed to have resigned from their work positions, and such resignations will be accepted immediately.”
You have my vote, Mr. President.
