The economic meltdown which has brought so many expertise theories almost to mockery should be seen as a define issue.People now should know that their own wisdom can equally fail them in the long run.The solution to it is people should have love for one another and not to believe in so much acquiring wealth they should believe in supreme wisdom,have positive thought shun away corruption greedness and more importantly turn to God because the scripture says if we can confess our sins and turn away from evil deeds and call upon the name of the Lord he will hear us and heal our land.

One important solution to the present economic meltdown is for developing Countries to diversify thier economy,wage a serious battle against all forms of corruption and promote all those positive values that support development.Leaders should rule with the fear of God and the followers must not only believe in themselves but be positively committed to the tasks of nation building.

Wb,
Agree that middle class is most likely to pay the price, both in personal financial situations and in taxes. Interesting take on illegals – your math is probably OK, but the assumptions would need some actual data. Still, solving the immigration problem has to be high on the list. Most problematic of your suggestions is off-shore drilling; the actual recoverable reserves versus estimated are not that great, say experts, but bigger problems are the time it will take, i.e., many years to decades, and the fact that ultimately we still need to shift to renewables. Better to invest in that now, in my opinion, can get the dollars flowing sooner, and it is sustainable. Thanks for commenting.

notice how no one is talking about two surefire fixes that can be made to the economy? drill for oil off our own coasts, and deport all illegal aliens. hey people, illegals take up almost 20 million jobs here in the united states. for those of you who flunked high school math take 9.00 per hour(standard avg for someone with 2 years workforce exp, multiply by 30 hours, then multiply by 10,000,000(assuming working family with kids). now figure that at least 20 per cent of that money is sent back to native country for support. now add up total public expenditures such as food stamps, college subsidy, health care, etc. that is enough money to balance out california budget in 6 months. drilling for oil in proven reserves is not the same thing as looking for oil. america has millions of gallons already mapped out just waiting for the installation of oil rigs. ten complete oil rigs lie off the california coast ready just to be turned on. the rigs were shut down by the epa before they were even allowed to pump. if just these two items were taken seriously by washington we could be well on our way to solving this mess within 12-18 months. fat chance though as the middle class just got saddled with the biggets boondoggle in history. it won’t be the ulta-rich who pay for this and it sure as hell won’t be the poor. it will however, be mr and mrs middle class america.

I believe it’s wise to plan for the worst case banking scenario. World Socialism has been the main agenda for quite some time. But the fact is, this has been coming all behind the scenes. Most people have never heard of Maurice strong, for example, but more than anyone perhaps he has helped to bring world powers together to the Socialist/Ecological/Economic pot luck supper. Kindly see article “Barreling Towards Babylon” at my blog.
