This week we’ve been asking listeners to suggest big ideas on how to fix the economy, and you’ve given us a huge response. We’ve talked about raising inflation, boosting housing prices, capping total compensation for CEOs, taxing the rich, and the potential financial impact of legalizing pot. We received over 200 responses, and noticed some interesting trends. One in six of those who responded suggested reforming the tax code. The second most popular idea was to cut military spending. We’re talking about your suggestions with Louise Story, Wall Street and finance reporter for our partner, The New York Times. She talks about what she thinks are your most interesting ideas.
We want to hear your feedback so we can keep improving our website, theworld.org. Please fill out this quick survey and let us know your thoughts (your answers will be anonymous). Thanks for your time!
