Lower taxes and cut costs, and cutting regulation. Tom Send a noteboard - 30/08/2010 02:55:19 PM
Lower taxes and less regulation in many areas will stimulate business. That by itself gets people off unemployment and paying taxes of their own. If entitlement programs are removed or retooled the reduced costs will start to move us from the negative to the positive on the balance sheet.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
