When back when, FDR considered creating a shorter work week to help creat jobs. It can work now! ALL the other industrial countries have 32 hour workweeks AND 5 week vacations mandated by law (even for part time workers). It's a way to creat significant numbers of jobs.

Cut Defense spending by 10% and balance the Budget

Medical bill collections are ruining individual credit scores. This prevents people from being able to purchase items on credit which in turn is destroying our economy.

Government regulation is a hidden tax perpetrated against the American public. Bills are passed in congress with little regard to the bureaucratic cost of implementing them. Urge Washington to include in each bill an estimated cost of what it would take to enforce or enact each law.

10,000 jobs in the United States and 2,000 small businesses will vanish after July 6th, 2012. If President Obama does not issue a signing statement stating he will not enforce the provision of RYO (Roll Your Own) cigarette machines in the "Highway Bill" I and 6 direct family members will be out of a job. 95% of this bill has nothing to do with RYO machines.

Austerity measures being pushed by Republicans and many Democrats in Congress are designed to kill jobs and punish the poor and middle class who have already been the ones to suffer under this recession. Austerity measures taken in Europe are proving that their economies are declining instead of thriving -- we should learn from them. Growing economies means growing jobs which means job creation bills.

End the Bush tax cuts! The Bush tax cuts cost the majority of Americans millions. The true benficiaries are those that are not paying their fair share. Revive the middle class by allowing the Bush cuts to expire.

The student loan forgiveness act seeks to "Rescue" students from "crushing" Student Loan Debt. In actuality, it would create a Socialist system where One goes to college and All foot the bill.

There are some home owners who have been trying to get loan modifications for the last five to seven years. The Banks need to clean the slate, really reduce interest rates, reduce the debt on the home to accommodate the current owner, especially when the banks are willing to sell it at a loss. They are turning us into a nation of renters owned by a few. Landlords do not spend money on improvements and upgrades, homeowners do thus demand for landscaping, painting, siding, garden supplies, add-ones, hot tubs, upgrades, appliances, garage doors with openers, and pride of ownership. These are real jobs that pay with real money.

The economy needs a stimulus. We need to enable the retirement of older workers to free up more jobs. We need to give our American workers an even chance to compete with foreign workers. We need to relieve the debt on our young people so they can buy homes. We need to relieve the tax and healthcare burden on companies wanting to hire American employees.
