This sounds pretty drastic.
I have a much better idea: Direct all citizens, non-citizens, aliens, undocumented... to go thru all their belongings and break ALL their glass. Any glass you walk by - break it. Now, the prescient folks of Missouri already have a start at this in Ferguson - good for them!
ALL this broken glass will have to be removed, new glass manufactured and installed. This will be a TREMENDOUS boon to the economy! Might even erase the entire National Debt!!
