Simple.

Start doing what they are doing in NYC, mayor bloomberg is a idiot savant if you ask me.

This SOB leased out all the garbage receptacle bins and similar in the entire city to advertisement companies to put adds on them in return for revenue. Why didn't i think of that ?

We should start doing this in all cities and towns in america.

And then multiply this idea.

Personal Note: Duh.

Lets start using ALL of our resources we already have, I think the country has ceased to remember all of our grandfathers came here with little or no money. It doesn't take money to do great things.
It takes doing great things to make money.

Kind Regards,

I'm taking my good ideas to the Pink House.

Our main problem now is one of confidence and that is not going to change until people are confident that 1) they are not going to be forced out of their houses or 2) that the houses they own and are paying for are not going to keep going down in value.
Once people start feeling safe again, they will start buying again. Once they start buying again, business will grow and start hiring again and more banks will be confident enough to increase lending, I suspect, much more prudently.
Rather than focusing money on banks, I would focus on mortgages. John McCain had an idea. Buy the mortgages of people facing foreclosure and write them a new mortgage. But he made a mistake. He was going to write the mortgage at present value.
Instead, write a first mortgage at present value and a second mortgage for the balance that is paid for by the government. Make this second mortgage assumable by anyone who can afford the first mortgage. And this second mortgage will be a no interest mortgage that is only paid down when the house is sold. If the house is not sold for enough money to cancel out all of the second mortgage, then part of the second, no interest, no pay until sold, mortgage is passed along to the buyer. That would make these houses marketable, because people would know that they would never have to pay off some of the second mortgage unless the house's value rose. Each time that the house is sold, the portion of the equity higher than the last first mortgage is paid back to the government. Gradually, over time, the second mortgage is paid off. In this way, neither the government nor the banks have to untangle all of the sliced and diced mortgages.
I noticed recently in Business Week that the $787 billion stimulus package could have purchased "3.9 million homes at the median U.S. price of roughly $200,000."

I would suggest that he let one of the big three die (probably GM), one of the big banks die and one of the big airlines die. Corporations need to know that stupidity will not be bailed out. Save the rest because we can't afford the consequences if let all of them go under.

Take the money saved and put it into green energy, basic research, applied research, genetics, .... in particular small startups and entrepreneurs in these fields.

I would try to push and persuade the funding for developing project ideas that could be added, in part to put peoples mind at ease concerning crude oil dependency, and help and influence to build, and possibly change the auto industry, such as, trying to implement the trial mass production of small engines that run, only off of Methane, which is one of the big Green House gases. It would revolve around the idea of manufacturing very small auto-bodies, meant to emulate a motorcycle, but with a specialized perimeter of sorts, and state of the art "agile" safety integral features.We would probably have to design a high pressure gas tank(to maximize energy value per fill) that is extremely leak proof, for certain safety reasons, and figure out some type of localized environmental filtering system, which would be set-up,on farms, or other facilities, mainly focusing on housing them around cows. These would capture and store the expelled Methane for pre-sale. One down-side of Methane would be to progress its concentration, and the energy value. Compared to petrol(standard crude oil), which has about a 150 to 1 ratio of energy per cubic foot, over Methane. So, to one extent or less, you'll have to fill you tank much more frequently. But look at how much gas we would be extracting out of the atmosphere, while at the same time, enjoying a virtually unlimited supply of fuel!

Another possible idea that could synergistically corelate with the above one, is to implement a modified road/law/transport system.This, in addition to pushing different mass transportation systems; Subways in many states, and alternative methods of travel that other countries have already been using for a while, such as Mag-levitation, etc. I might just try to persuade President Obamas "people," to encourage legislature(s) to pass "trial" transportation in modifying routes/areas in select cities, and calling them "Efficiency Zones." Wherein would be an maximum allowance of weight and size in the vehicles traveled. This would be primarily be regulated to accommodate the exclusive use of only motorcycles, and the "new make" vehicles(with some exceptions).

Only 3 ideas!
1. Let's make everybody healthy! - In a society it is beneficial to have every person working to their full potential. When one person is ill, they cannot reach that potential. It only benefits our nation as a whole to keep everyone as healthy as possible.
2. Let's make everybody wise! - In a society it is beneficial to have every person with some skill to work. If a person is not skilled, he cannot reach his potential. It only benefits our nation as a whole to keep everyone as wise as possible.
3. Let's make everybody wealthy! - In a society it is beneficial to have every person wealthy, who will spend. If a person is not wealthy, he will not be happy. It only benefits our nation as a whole to keep everyone as happy as possible.
