Some good ideas here. The most centralized, planned economy in the world, China, recovered most rapidly from the 2008 Depression. China sent all unemployed people, caused by the collapse of the Chinese plants manufacturing for Walmart, back to work at the huge national farm communes, just in time for the Spring 2009 planting. Smart move.
This gave China a huge surplus of broccoli, fish & fruit in 2010. Plus it prevented a crime wave by the unemployed, like the ones sweeping Brazil, Europe & US. Chinese communal farms provide good housing, collective dinning halls, free education, free health care, lots of fresh air, exercise & a safe place to raise children. China did all this between 1949 & 1989.
The best law they passed, was one child per family every 10 years.
Next they built rail service from Peking to Moscow. The train has run every day since 1955. Chinas military budget is 1% of their GNP. Their army does not invade foreign countries. Even during Vietnam, the most China did was sell bikes, guns & rice, very cheap to Vietnam
America needs to have a law that forces all unemployed people to work 5 days a week on collective farms. This will prevent crime, Depression, & poverty & gangs. America is being buried, by economies with centralized plans, as was predicted in 1961.
By 2013 China, Cuba, Venezuela, Russia & the whole socialist bloc will be equal in power to the US.

This Depression was caused by criminal conduct by Wall Street, corporations, Banks & Congress.

Here are 5 things that can be done to stop this Depression.
1 – Stop the Afghan war!
2 – Stop printing paper money for goods we don’t have.
When JFK was faced with a similar crisis, he printed $ billions of dollars worth of Silver Certificates — not fake federal Reserve notes, paper money.
We must abolish the “Fed” Reserve by printing Silver Certificates just like JFK did..
2 – Businesses need to start building 1 million new solar berm houses each year. Making real goods.
This will make real things, & free us from coal & oil addiction.
Only by making hard, sellable goods, can we rebuild our economy. All the present housing is obsolete because it keeps us addicted to coal & oil.
3 – Cut all spending in Afghanistan, Iraq & Israel.
4 – Raise taxes on the 2/3 of the corporations, who now pay NO taxes. According to the NYT, 2/3 of all US based corporations pay no taxes. None. As in zero.
5 – Raise taxes on tobacco, legalize & tax Pot. This will save half the costs we waste on prisons, since most people in prison are there for Marijuana violations. Which state will legalize pot first?
Right now the states closest to legalization are: #1 Hawaii #2 Alaska #3 Oregon #4 Nevada #5 Georgia #6 California #7 Idaho #8 Montana #9 Kansas #10 Arizona #11 Florida #12 Virginia #13 Vermont #14 Pennsylvania
Which one will pass legalization first?
6- Build a mass movement of people marching in the streets, raising these 7 demands. We must build a socialist system to protect the people from the corporations.
7 – Invest in liquid colloidal silver. This is the best medicine against cancer, swine flu & many diseases. If you want Single Payer, you first must be responsible enough to invest in your own health, by taking care of yourself. Take 2 grams of vitamin C hourly.
Can you suggest one more thing?
War is a Racket. I spent 33 years in military service… most of my time as a hi class muscleman for big business, for Wall Street & the bankers …. I was a gangster for capitalism. Gen. Smedley Butler, USMC Stop the Afghan war.
