The main thing I think is that the government should make jobs until the economy is kick-started again. This is what happens with out-sourcing, a wonderful idea to make cheaper products, causing people to lose jobs. I know what it feels like to have a guy leaning over your shoulder to take a picture of the part you are working on so they would know what it looked like assembled when it goes to Mexico to be produced instead. That was a fun day. But right now my job is relatively stable, unless workers' comp insurance companies start going under. Then I'm screwed. So, as of now, I put my bit in savings and then proceed to blow the rest.
Still don't know where you think all the money would come from. You mention taxes, but to support a massive wave of government spending/job creation, you'd have to raise 'em. I don't think you'll get much public support from that, given the current economic situation.
