This week we’re talking about ways to fix the economy. President Obama is currently on a bus tour, talking to voters in Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota about his plan to boost the economy. Back in Washington the Congressional “super committee” has begun talks over how to find $1.5 trillion in spending cuts. And here on The Takeaway, we’re asking listeners to share their ideas. Listener Tasha Cox, from Atlanta, Ga., says the government should “go in, build parks, build schools” and suggests “they should start with the gulch in Atlanta, because it’s an old blighted area that could benefit from some TLC.”
What’s your big idea for how to fix the economy? Leave your suggestions in the comments.
