I saw on Fox News the official unemployment figures, which do not include those who have given up looking for jobs.

So what do we do?

(1) Keep the Bush tax cuts.

(2) Reduce taxes further, something Kennedy, among others, understood.

(3) Reduce business taxes.

(4) Keep capital gains the same or do away with them all together.

(5) Forget cap and tax.

(6) Forget government health care and allow interstate competition and control suits

(7) Stop government bailouts.

(8) Stop stupid non-working so-called stimulus plans

(9) Start going for energy independence by drilling offshore, Alaska and shale.

(10) Freeze government spending.

This will be a start so real Americans can bring us back big time and jobs will be plentiful and unemployment will disappear. Our president and his buddies will have a lot more tax money to reduce the deficit and President Obama will save his presidency instead of becoming a Jimmy Carter look-alike.
