Idea To Fix Economy

[Militarycom.]

This idea is quite simple, all the u.s. has to do is put large taxes / tarrifs on imported goods so that it would be more beneficial for companies to have there business in the U.S . Then after they start having business here rather in other countries we will have alot more jobs and anything bought in the u.s. would go to right back into the u.s. economy rather than another country. Please post any suggestions.

lols k.
for starters, its not just the US in a recession. near enough every country is. Secondly, its not profitable for a lot of companies to be in the US, such as manufacturing electricals or clothing. So no, not a way to 'fix the economy'.

the solution to the financial crisis is on habbox forum.

It is simple, keep taxes lowered so people will be more inclined to spend, slash public sector spending and force the banks to loan out money to collapsing companies so they can survive/secure the loans they need which keeps people in work/keeps people and the business paying tax to the government.

Duh thats the problem for it not profitable to be in the u.s. so you make it unprofitable for them to be in other countries so they have to be in the u.s. and if we buy american it would become profitable, also the guy with lowering taxes if you lowered taxes you eased budgets somewhat but then what you still would have no job and be broke. The whole thing is o make jobs not have lower prices.

Nah that's protectionism and would mess over everyone else, plus do you have any idea how much we get from abroad? More problems than solutions.

Nah because the tax will mostly go back to the rich who will save some of it, the MPS and all that business. If its taxed and spend by the government the MPS (marginal propensity to save) doesn't enter the picture and a larger percentage of the funds are used.

And how exactly do you force banks to loan out money?

You're right, making everything expensive IS the answer! Or do you expect companies to be forced to start production in a country that costs far more than their current outsourcing and still keep product prices the same for consumers?

Than everyone would just hate us more. Dumb plan.

True other countries would hate us for it, but china, japan, and other major economies put large taxes on our goods. By the way the person who was being sarcastic about expensive stuff, you're missing the point things would'nt go insanely high. I meant the it's better to be employed and have good business rather than having slightly lower prices. And having really low prices does'nt help because all the low priced items usually come from companies in other countries to pay off those workers instead of us. I'm not saying its a full solution to the economy but it would help. Other stuff would be giving proper loans, fixing housing market, and lowering plus maybe even getting rid of taxes put on companies to make the U.S. a profitable place.
