    Cut the defense budget

    Cut part of the Defense budget. Close down unneeded military bases across the globe. Make sure the elite class pays its fair share of taxes. Regulate the banks. Tax the churches. Cut the Pork. Increase the tax cuts to the middle classes. Increase unemployment benefits to the unemployed and extend the benefit period. Force the banks to renegotiate the mortgages given out by perdatory lenders. This will stimulate the economy and slowly put it back on track.
