Four Keys to Obama's Economic Gameplan [View article]
I strongly agree with the idea of credit incentives rather than tax cuts. Tax cuts help but are not necessarily stimulative. An incentive is 100% stimulative because it is not spent until the desired stimulative action is taken by the recipient of the credit.
Here's another idea. Infrastructure Bonds. In this time of ultra-low interest rates and a fragile financial system millions of people are looking for a safe place to put their savings. I suggest the government release Infrastructure Bonds just as it once offered War Bonds during WWII. The bonds would pay a higher interest than current market rates and have inflation protection built in. That way, people get a good, safe investment, feel good about rebuilding the infrastructure of the country and the government gets money for the projects – creating more jobs, and stimulating the economy over a several year period.
