THE ECONOMY: The way to make it grow is really simple.

1. You create an environment where people have money to spend on goods and services.
2. You create an environment where jobs are plentiful.
3. To create jobs, you lower corporate tax rates and regulations to make businesses easier to start or grow and encourage them to bring back business they have taken to other countries because they could make more money there.
4. You equalize trade to also make it less lucrative to buy from other countries and more lucrative to sell to other countries, thus making AMERICAN MADE more profitable. This also raises the incentive to keep business in the USA and bring it back here meaning American jobs! (Think steel, aluminum, etc.)
5. When you make America more business friendly (and not via lobbyists buying self-serving votes from congress members for HUGE corporations, but for mom and pop businesses we all frequent daily), those companies can hire more workers, more people are working so there is more money to spend at the small businesses, thus the businesses grow and hire more people.
6. More people working takes them off government assistance which allows them to better their lives and work towards the American Dream.
7. Less people on government assistance and more people working brings in more tax money which can be used for what it SHOULD be for, not to keep the poor barely surviving.

SIMPLE! Takes someone who is a businessman to realize this and make it happen

Obama, as a community organizer, only knew to throw government money at things that needed money. The boondoggle giant Stimulus Program was just spending more and more money but little came back in. Hiring people with taxpayer dollars (shovel ready jobs) are not permanent and while those people are paying in taxes, their entire salaries COME from tax dollars. Thus the deficit grew like crazy and we were worse off. Jobs were temporary so people were back to unemployed, and on government assistance again. Government jobs are funded by taxes, while private sector jobs are funded by business owners. It is THEIR money backing it, and if they succeed, they do well. If they fail, only they lose.

Obama believed in subsidizing everything instead of fixing the problem. Solyndra should have been some PRIVATE OWNER'S dream and they should have been the ones to take the fall, not paid for by taxpayers. Supply and demand. Subsidies mean that business isn't working. To make them work, that business owner/board needs to make necessary adjustments to be prosperous, or shut down.

It's really simple. You bring jobs and business BACK to America. You make it easier to start businesses, not harder. THAT is why the economy, jobs, and the GDP are so good now, not because of Obama's ideas and actions.
