Your solution is the correct one.

1. Reduce the risk of, and increase the potential gain from, creating a job. All federal, state, and local regulations and laws that disincentivise job creation should be reviewed, including those that ostensibly protect the environment and those that increase the difficuly of disciplining an employee who happens to be of a protected class.

2. Reduce or eliminate the corporate income tax. It makes no sense to tax corporate income twice, once at the corporate level and once at the dividend level.

3. Strictly enforce the ban on hiring illegals and forbid the participation of illegals in safety net programs.

4. Disincentivise idleness by reducing the level of support the unemployed receive - someone is going to have to do the jobs previously performed by the departed illegals.

If taken, these four steps would dramatically reduce the unemployment rate and improve all of our fortunes, monetary and otherwise.

Sorry all your ideas would not create enough jobs quick enough. We can’t create enough new jobs here. Look at what you buy, see where it is made and you will see why our unemployment is high. We have to bring them back the old jobs we exported. Then those middle agers would be employed again doing what they did before. This is a no-brainer.

p.henry....excellent methods and ideas, these...

However, the real "crux" of these four steps came in the last sentence above (underlined for our edification and enjoyment)

So...employing realism to these four steps, let's put a percentage on the probability of them happening in the next 5.5 years (the stain's full second term).

Step 1. = < 2%,
Step 2. = <5%,
Step 3. = ~15%,
Step 4. = ~ 20%

Now...next big challenge. Given the present state of the US economy, and the present political divisions...and assuming that the stain and his entire regime will be in power until 2016....please provide 4 steps that can be taken now - in the real world - that could actually happen and that would do the same amount of good the "fantasy" four steps already cited would do...but will never see the light of day.
