We all have our partsian political views, and a lot of answers on Yahoo and in debate and the media in general are based on simpistic biases and stupidity, and I would like to get above that. I have my own views, but I am curious on what general perception and thought are.
What specific policies that the Democrats or Republicans are advocating do you think would help the economy? Please explain why and how such policies would improve the economy. No "Bush is dumb" or "Dems are Commies" answers please.

Deportation would make the most change in the least amount of time. jobs, housing, assistance, room in jail, room on the road, everything would open up signifigantly, and billions would be saved to apply to other things, like education and welfare reform.
I dont think this is a specific policy, but it should be, to take welfare back to what it was supposed to be. TEMPORARY assistance. Put a child limit, a time limit, and a total funds recieved limit. Also, not let illegals or children born to illegals qualify w/ out a certain length of residency.
I also agree w/ a time line to evacuate the middle east. I realize we cant pull everyone out at once, but as things stabilize we should monthly bring a certain number home.

When the Democratic President stops us from spending trillions on unnecessary war then maybe we won't have to auction ourselves to the Chinese like the Republicans appear to desire...can I say that Bush is a commie? Some Dems are pretty dumb too...

I really like the fair tax idea. Instead of taxing people on what they make tax on what they spend. This will help America's Economy by giving the people more money to spend and they will go out and spend it.

The left's drooling desire to raise taxes will ruin / damage the economy !
Still would like to see the right get behind a flat tax of 15 %, keeping deductions for mortgage interest, health costs, education, and retirement plans.
All of those are essential to either keep things rolling, improve your life, or keep from having the government bail you out.

Using the tax money to help the people who pay the taxes in the first place...
- Democrats
Using tax money to fund Halliburton and Lockheed Martin and build summer homes for the Cheney family in Dubai...
- Republicans
You Decide.

Repeal Bush's tax cuts and use the revenue to pay for his war and (hopefully) its debt.

Bringing the troops home, cut spending and taxes, shrink government, deport illegals...only Ron Paul is up for the task in helping the economy. The rest have no real plan on the table.
