Why are people still trying this? You can't increase cash flow by giving away your money. A good first step to fixing this is repealing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts. This is what Democrats and rational REPUBLICANS know. I believe it was described best by former President Bush: VOODOO ECONOMICS. This can't possibly turn out well.

Long term the best things the US government could do is:

  1. Cut spending; currently the US government is going into debt by over $1,000 for every tax payer every year, and (like all governments) most of the spending is inefficient and has very little benefit.
  2. Change the Federal Reserve's mandate so that its only concern is to prevent inflation. Trying to manipulate the ecconomy through the centeral bank only ever provides short term benefit in exchange for long term troubles.
  3. Pay down the National Debt.
  4. Stop playing with the ecconomy for political gain.
