How about an education spending spree? The State of California is laying off teachers in order to meet budget concerns. Why don't we invest in ourselves and our children, since this is clearly a national shortcoming? Did you know that there is a staggering number of workers in Silicon Valley hailing from other countries, particularly India? With the right kind of programs, Americans can receive more education that allow them to compete in the tech industry instead of giving those jobs to foreign workers.
What we most dearly need is to move ourselves away from a market of crap. The U.S. economy should not be based on Walmart totchkes. The American consumer should be investing their Christmas money on things that matter--like better educations, healthier foods, and green technology. At least this crisis is an opportunity to reexamine the foundation of our economy. I don't think that Mr. Leonard's (tricked out SUV's) suggestion is the route that we want to take.
