How would you fix the economy ?

[Charles]

Gotta hand it to you Grumpy, you ask the easy questions.

Not so sure that it can be fixed. Kind of like an old car, you can patch it up, put it back on the road, and get a few more miles out of it. But sooner or later it's gonna die.

Eventually, we will have to change the order of things. I was hoping that wouldn't happen on my watch, but I'm beginning to think that I may be SOL.

The problem is we live in a world full of people. Technology may have changed, but people haven't. We're no different now than we were when we first crawled out of a cave and beat supper to death with a rock. We just dress better, and talk a better game.

Put your finger right on that one, Charles.

Fix the economy?

Try some "trickle up", that "trickle down" hasn't worked for shit.

Leave the Government out of it and barter.

Cut the tax bill big time in one easy stroke - pay politicians minimum wage, put the Congress and Senate in dormitory housing, serve the School Lunch Program in the Senate Dining room, and make voting attendance mandatory. Have them all share staff, too. No more limos, we'll put the dorms close by so you can walk to work. Maybe then some people who care about our country instead of lining their pockets will run for office.

Take back all the bail-out money. YOU FAILED, why should my tax dollars provide you a free roll?

Try caring about your employees (or constituents) well-being as much as the bottom line. There's more than one way to be rich.
