1) Allow drilling offshore, on government land that is not a national park, in Alaska. Would probably lower unemployment by about 1-2%. Would cut 45% of imported oil. This cuts the money going overseas and keeps it at home where it is spent at home thus helping stimulate the economy.
2) Switch fleet vehicles to compressed natural gas, thus cutting another 40% of imported oil, keeping even more money at home.
3) Back off on new environmental regulations. I work for a natural gas distribution company. We have to fill out a 36 page environmental report to install gas mains if we disturb over 1 acre of land. It was 5 acres. We then have to wait about a month for approval. There are other regulations styfling the economy.
4) Go back to banking regulations prior to 1998 when they were changed which lead to the housing bubble.
5) Establish a low flat tax, and eliminate corporate tax if an industry comes back to America. Institute a 1% national sales tax on all American made goods, higher on foreign main to keep our industry competitive.
6) Put tarriffs on any foreign goods or from any country that steals patents, subsidizes their industry to put ours out of business. Like at least 25% on Chinese goods to give our goods parity.
7) Encourage, help, and streamline regulations that help get nuclear power, wind power, solar power, and synthetic gas and oil from coal get started.
Require all federal, states, and local governments to buy ONLY American made products, such as vehicles, uniforms, shoes, cleaning products, office machines, etc. If there are no American made products, require the companies to have them within 5 years or else loose their tax credits.
9) Cut every government program that is not necessary for the defence of our nation.
10) Seal the border, and have realistic immigration policy. No citizenship for illegal children born in America.
