If anyone really wants my suggestions, I say...

Give each and every state as much as they need to pay their current deficits. That will preclude massive lay-offs. Does it seem too simple and logical to keep trained government employees working rather than to lay them off while the Federal fatbutts create a 3.5 million unit "make jobs" program. Nevada only needs about $2.5 billion to keep everything "normal" this year. Major victims of the impending firings are teachers. What's yer problem, Obama.

California needs close to $40 billion to keep things going smoothly this year, but that state has 40 million people!

Figuring that the US government should spend $1 thous. per capita, give that in a cash tax rebate.

Just some ideas. Nobody is paying me millions to fix anything.
