    Ending the wars and not starting new ones, nationalizing the banks, stop giving money to other countries (for example, no more 3 billion per year to Israel), fire all the executives on Wall Street, end all of the psychological/social wars (war on terror, war on drugs, etc.), raise taxes for the wealthy and the corporations, lend money to people, bring back unions to protect the workers' rights, lower the cost of education, make health care a universal plan, outlaw lobbists

    letting weak, poorly managed companies like AIG crash and burn. If I went to a finacial advisor and said I wanted to invest in AIG and the like, they would think I was on crack. And this is what Pres Obama wants to do with our money

    Forest rangers know more about keeping something healthy as compared to our politicians. Forest rangers know that small controlled fires keep the forest healthy. Politicians think unchecked growth can continue forever.
    This recession is just another step in the ongoing economic cycle. But, the media wants you to think it is the worst thing ever because then you will watch more tv and buy more newspapers. The media makes money from crisis, chaos, and worry.
    All companies and individuals need to get cleaned out a little once in a while. A few layoffs for companies let them know that they were getting a little fat and uncompetitive. Individuals need to use common sense in the homes they purchase. Not ever person should buy a 500k home. At the rate houses were increasing our grandchildren would have been buying 1 million dollar starter homes. Finally, the mortgage companies were just idiots and they needed to get wiped out. Giving loans for overvalued assets to people who can't afford the payments is just stupidity.
    The economy will recover and we will be fine. Just stop watching the news!

    As suggest my many politicians,banks like citybank and other should let go bankrupt.New banks need to be formed that are government regulated,and interest rates be done away with.In other words when you get a loan or credit card you only pay back what you borrowed interest free.Secondly the auto industries need to bankrupt and new manufactures will come along.

    Fewer business and poli-sci majors--more engineers and scientists in the role of business men and politicians.

    I believe that if we allow the big corporate banks, the big 3 and wall street to colapse, we can than, after the depression, start rebuilding our country. This country needs to start from ground zero and start all over agian.

    Nothing. We're way past the point where it can be fixed. The government should have taken over the banks when they first went under. It's too late now, we're in a full blown depression
