How to Create Jobs & Reduce the Debt

Assuming 2 truths: It would be great to be able to afford to put a little Job Stimulus into the economy at this moment in time, and Entitlement reform is worth a little horse trading.

The solution is actually quite simple.

I propose a new "Grand Bargain", a legislative package that trades substantial entitlement reform and a balanced budget amendment (which is absolutely needed anyway) for a stimulus package that includes money for infrastructure, education and continued support for unemployment & significant tax reform that closes many loopholes and targets business growth. Debt goes up a little now, in exchange for a solid plan that significantly reduces Debt overtime.

Done Deal.
