The First 100 Days: Franklin Roosevelt Pioneered the 100-Day Concept

Good, true, patriotic government leadership may inspire us, as Franklin Roosevelt did in the 30's, but individual participation is the real answer to economic problems.

All people from management to common labor should be willing to give their best effort, for less remuneration, and to lower their life style. Accordingly, financial institutions should lower interest on loans, and grant longer periods for repayment of loans.

Four hundred thousand dollars a year net income (after paying expenses of making that amount} should be the best salary or profit allowed any individual until this emergency is passed; and these incomes would be for top leaders and executives.

Any additonal income should be applied to paying off the national debt. Stock holders should be allowed to make no more than 6% interest on their investments, the total of which shouold not exceed $400,000.00 a year. Money accumulated by the reductions in salary should be remitted to the U.S. Treasury for the reduction of the national debt. These reductions, along with work provided by the stimulus program should reverse our economic problem within a couple of years.

With such a program, outsourcing should not be allowed.
