3 Solutions that I currently see to bail out the US

1) We go Marshall Plan into Africa and rebuild with the UN's support; unlike our confusingly unclear manner in Iraq

2) We mandate that all cars need to be scrapped and only hybrids and electric cars can be owned. That is what you call stimulating demand in a healthy manner.

3) Blame someone--don't like this option since it isn't positive and usually leads to negative feed back.
