>Some Continued Stimulus is Required (Pay for it with Tax Reform)

>Small Business Tax Incentives

>Lower the Burden Of Health Care on Businesses and Make Them More Competitive as Insurance and Medical Costs are Reduced

In 1933, FDR inherited an unemployment rate of 25%.  His administration immediately started jobs programs.  Those jobs put money in the hands of people and gave businesses an improved market for goods and services.  The businesses expanded and created more jobs.  By 1937, the unemployment rate was down to 14%.  The government backed off the jobs program and the rate went back up to 19%.  Job stimulus was reinstated and the unemployment rate went back down to 14% by 1940 and the start of WW II.  The war was a giant deficit finance program which ended unemployment.

The lesson to be learned was to not end the job stimulus program too quickly.  We need more job stimulus.   We need the multiplier effect as the income from those jobs help businesses produce more jobs.  We can help businesses by tax incentives to encourage expansion and reducing the burden of health care costs.

We need to produce a spiral of jobs leading to improved business markets to more jobs.  The job stimulus will need to continue until that spiral is well established.

We also need to get our budget deficit reduced.  The answer is to take money from where it is not needed and place it where it is needed - job production.  We need to rescind the Bush and Reagan tax breaks for the wealthy. as a source for the needed revenue.
