Take it out for a fancy dinner, a few drinks, and don't forget to be tender, but firm, with the clit. . .


. . . oh wait, the economy?

1. Large infrastructure projects - but assign them to specific bonds. When the bonds are paid, hand it over to a semi-private/private company to run.

2. Let GM buy Chrysler

3. Get off weird relativist monetary philosophies, and get back to setting the currency based on circulation vs. GDP.

4. Coerce China to unyoke the yuan to the dollar.

. . . more later. . . it's lunch time.

They could get bailout money for the merger. I could get behind that. Not that it's the inherently right thing to do; but it sucks less.

I already have a number 3.

Your idea won't work. . . but it might in 15-20 years.
