Jump starting the ecomony

Productivity501 had a interesting post on how to jump start an [tag]Economy[/tag].

One particular idea I thought was great is  giving a tax benefit in hiring the unemployed.
How to Jump Start an Economy? at Productivity501

1. Make it easier to hire people off unemployment. For example, the [tag]government[/tag] could give an employer a 90 day tax break on all the taxes they pay for employees that are coming off unemployment. This would help encourage businesses to hire people who are currently costing the government money and could drastically reduce the expenses of hiring someone until the company knows if they are a good fit or not.

To add, since most of the [tag]factory[/tag] jobs are going overseas, how about we start sending more money to education paying for low income population and reforming it so that its more effective. If we are to base our economy on our technology than we need to keep our [tag]education[/tag] at a top level and more easily accessible. I would love to see education become free to the people rather than the outrageous tuition [tag]students[/tag] pay now.

Interest rates cut by .75%

Fed cuts interest rates by 75 basis points – MarketWatch

Acting forcefully against [tag]economic[/tag] risk and [tag]financial[/tag] [tag]market[/tag] meltdown, the [tag]Federal[/tag] Reserve cut its overnight lending rate by 75 basis points to 3.50%, the Fed announced Tuesday. It was the first time the Fed had cut interest rates between meetings since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. “The committee took this action in view of a weakening economic outlook and increasing downside risks to growth,” the Federal Open Market Committee said in a statement. Downside risks to growth remain. The committee met on Monday evening.

Another attempt by the feds to boost the economy.

Interest Rates may be cut again

Fed Chief Signals Further Rate Cut – New York Times

Many analysts now expect the Fed’s policy makers to cut half a percentage point off the Fed’s benchmark interest rate, reducing it to 3.75 when they next meet, on Jan. 29 and 30. They expect the Fed to continue cutting, to 3 percent or even lower by summer, to prevent — or at least mitigate — a recession. The goal would be to get people to borrow and spend more.

While a applaud the fed trying to stop this recession, I just wish they would have taken a bigger stance on it awhile ago to have prevent having to do this.  One of the groups I personally accredit the downfall of our economy besides those subprime loans are the high interest credit cards jacking up the interest rates on already high interest when a person is late 1 day or is struggling.  Maybe someone can explain to me how a person that can’t afford x amount a month is able to pay 2x a month?
