If there was an easy way to solve this problem it would have been utilised. Some of the most knowledgeable people in the world are working on this problem as we apeak. what are the odds of the average AG user of coming up with a solution? However a basic thing i belibve that needs to be done is a global economic conference as this is a global economic crisis. Many top European leaders have met but it is not enough. Top truly come up with a solution the top economists and representatives of each nation should meet to decide upon one clear specific policy to pursue. With different countries pulling in different directions as it is right now makes it harder to solve. My basic plan everyone get together, as fot eh policy itslef, who knows.

if it was that simple im sure this recession would've been over. the problem is it's gonna get worse before it gets better. People are going to have to start buying smarter. But i bet you 60 years after this recession people are going to get a false sense of security and start taking out giant mortgages and loans for humongus houses and cars and we're gonna have another recession on our hands.

The only solution to stop these economic disasters would practically destroy the economy. The governments of the world need to stop interfering in economics. No more NAFTA, World Trade Org, "Free trade", World Bank, etc. These systems are in place to help the top .1% while the other 99.9% suffer.

Of course, dismantling these systems would put the world economy in an even bigger recession.

Also, stop rewarding CEO's for pile-driving corporations into the ground. Put the CEO's in bankruptcy for their terrible economic plans. If CEO's were held accountable for their failures (like in real Capitalism), this whole crisis would not be happening. They would actually make good decisions and work for the people instead of themselves.

Wouldn't it be solved already if it was easy? lol. And the economy is always like this and probly always will be, it's how it balances itself out with highs and lows.

What are you talking about? The World Bank helps developing countries. The United States is not a developing country. The WTO helps countries build trade agreements that are fair to both sides, wile NAFTA has help US, Canada and Mexico. How do these help the top 0.1% only?!

Do you think CEOs actually plan to &quotile-drive" their companies into the ground? CEOs are held accountable for their failures, that's why they're always hired and fired and the average term of one is ~7 years. Do you even know what being a CEO encompasses?

You have bought the lies. "Free Trade" allows US corporations to go into third world nations, set up factories, drive the small vendors out of business and have the people work for less than a dollar a day. It's no wonder illegal immigration to the US keeps getting higher and higher.

The World Bank also screws poor countries big time. Along with the IMF, they force developing nations to privatize in order to get loans. I am for privatization, but the forced privatization in a snap is a disaster. It guarantees corruption and bad business.

If the WB and IMF are so great, why is the standard of living going way down in the countries they give loans to? Because they also force cuts in social sectors. Health care is one area that countries are forced to cut health spending. Countries in Africa that receive IMF and WB help tend to be worse off after the loans. Eastern European health care has gone down the crapper because of cuts forced by the IMF and WB.

Not only that, 90% of the loan money never actually gets to the country. Most of the money goes to corporate CEO's to &quotlan" economic growth in the country. Of course, these economic plans never go through.

Do you think CEOs actually plan to &quotile-drive" their companies into the ground?

I wouldn't doubt it. No matter what, the government is going to bail them out.

CEOs are held accountable for their failures, that's why they're always hired and fired and the average term of one is ~7 years.

Held accountable? Yes, by getting multimillion retirement packages through public tax dollars sounds like accountability to me.

Do you even know what being a CEO encompasses?

It seems to encompass spending millions on sports advertising, golf trips, vacations, and government bailouts. Honestly, do you really think these CEO's care? So what if they are fired after 7 years. By then they have enough money to use 100 dollar bills as toilet paper for the rest of their life. Or the government will come bail them out and give them multimillion dollar retirement packages.

Anyone who says that they can is full of dookie. If somebody could, it would have already been "fixed" by now.

There is no easy way to solve it. There is always going to be a hard part.

Well it would seem to me the one way to fix it would be to raise the cost of taxes. Bigger tax increase will help to lift the resestion here in the US and help markets across the world. Naturally though people don't want higher taxes so by keeping taxes low along with interest rates not enough money is pumped back into the economy along with the stock markets. The more we pay bac in taxes the more quicker we begin to dig ourselves out.

Cannibalism: basically we eat the homeless and poor it solves world hunger and the homeless problem we're no longer spending trillions on the poor and homeless id est the government isn't spending so much therefore taxes decrease and we all have more money to invest in the stock market and buy junk and the economy will slowly but surely stabilize in a few years

Don't be idiots what we need is a sort of plan that works like this we go take all this money we are using on big business and tell them you can't outsource anymore every country keeps every job in theri own vicinity thsi eliminates those who try to get rid of home grown american workers. Or try not being idiots and get rid of the whole stock market yes less easy money but less worrying for people and no more idiot scammers.
