Occam's razor states bluntly that the simplest solution is the best. The United States economy can simply be restored by enacting two rules:
1) Stop (or limit) outsourcing.
Outsourcing, while good for businesses, provides jobs for people outside our country and helps economies other than our own. The US needs to accept a more isolationist approach in such a a depressing time of our economy.
2) Stop cutting taxes.
While cutting taxes sounds nice and gets votes, it isn't in the interest of everyone. Cutting taxes only lessens how much money the government has to pay off debts and last time I heard, the US needs all it can get to pay off all the debt we have.
By enacting these two simple rules, our economy can get back on track so future generation need not worry.
