U.S. Trade Deficit Up in September: Job Losses Mount

TRADE DEFICIT SOLUTION: EASY

A) Remove regulatory barriers, and the best two place to remove those barriers is drilling and nuclear. Open drilling in California, Florida and the Northeast. Streamline approval for construction of nuclear power. Just those two changes alone would directly create hundreds of thousands of jobs and lower fuel costs and lower the trade deficit and require no new government spending. How can you beat that?

B) Furthermore, the government should directly tax high pollution fuels and high pollution users. Coal has to go, unless the process is clean coal.

C) Also, the time is ripe for a government sponsored health care system for those who wish to participate. This would remove an enormously expensive burden on businesses, allowing them to be more competitive with foreign business.

D) Lastly, the government should restructure the EPA from a watch-dog agency to a service agency. The EPA should be responsible for hazardous waste disposal. This would remove another enormous burden from business.
