Section II: Causes

A)     Trouble Shooting Analysis (TSA)

B)     Discussion of causes –

1)     Companies are moving overseas where overhead is cheaper.

2)     Companies are hiring illegal immigrants and paying them less, without providing benefits.

3)      America not being creative enough, (not producing enough engineers, mathematicians, chemical engineers in our own school systems).

4)     American has stopped making products, because it is cheaper to have them made in other counties.

5)     Unnecessary out sourcing of products.

6)     Free benefits to all illegal immigrants in our country.

7)      Stimulus package: taking millions of dollars away from hard working taxpayers.

8)     Dictatorship in Government policies

Section III: Possible Solutions

A)     Techniques used:

          Researched –The Firm used Periodicals, internet, news papers, and          journals.

          Brainstorming – We discussed all of our point of views to reflect on why the Current Us Economy is on a Rapid Decline, and what changes need to occur  to repair the situation at hand.

B)     Solutions Brainstormed:

          Higher taxes for companies that hire overseas

          Severe sanctions for companies hiring illegal immigrants

          Raise import taxation on every American operated company that moves out of the country.

          Illegal immigrant taxation on their wages earned in America

          Holding insurance companies liable to their policy and forcing them to honor them no matter the cost. (Can’t cancel a person because it cost too much)

          Cut back or stop all American aid unless deemed a natural disaster to other counties.

            We have decided as a team that restructuring the economy would be the best choice as far as a solution to our current economic crisis. We decided this was the direction to go for a couple of reasons. The first reason is that, it is something that our government can do to implement a reform for an unstable economy. We know what most people would think, “How does this provide a resolve for our economy?” To be honest, it would only give minimal relief in the beginning, but it is something that we can do now. To make an effective change in the economy would take time, financial backing, and political support at the local, state, and federal levels of the governing body.

We put a lot of research and thought into this process and came up with these five areas we felt are most critical and in need have reform. The first area is health care; we believe that a better healthcare system with less government involvement is better. Second, we discussed housing in America. It was thought that lowering home prices to suit incomes would help stabilize the housing market. Third, we believe that the unemployment rate would greatly decrease if we employed our citizens of our country first, and put the clamps on businesses that outsource for cheap labor. Fourth, if we implemented stronger and stricter Immigration Laws and reforms we would be able to tend to our country more financially. Last, we need to have our education system brought up to current methods, to ensure that our generations to follow are competitive for future world societies.

            Being there are multiple areas that need to be restructured, we could place emphasis on areas needing most attention. First there is healthcare which we spoke of first. We believe that every citizen deserves the right to decent and affordable healthcare without having to compromise financial stability and health wellness. Then, there is also unemployment which seems to be the main driver of economic dysfunction. We would also like to see mandates on companies and businesses that outsource for cheap labor. During this time we would hope that the our government would have the interest of economic reform for the American public at hand, rather than reform for the rest of the world, by this we mean listen to the general public, or better yet; the people that trust our government to make living in America better for everyone that is a citizen.

            After the federal or state government has made decisions, we could review to have majority of the public agree upon the outcomes. This would help to ease the process of law making, if the government understand and know what the public needs are. If the bill isn’t suitable for the taxpayers then it shouldn’t be implemented. Also, if we can’t get a satisfactory decision at lower levels, then we take it through appropriate channels to get a hearing at the next higher level until all levels have been exhausted. If that doesn’t work then we do what we must to get a person removed from their seat, and try to find someone that has a genuine interest in of the American citizens. Things are not going to change on their own, so we would really depend on these people we have voted in to these positions to speed up our process. Being that this is a growing problem and affects everyone, we think that people would really consider the needs of the American public.

Contingency Plan

    Any and all solutions must be cost efficient, must be able to improve the economy without Government dictatorship and/or socialism. The biggest obstacle for this plan is starting at the root of the problem itself to make it work which would be starting at Congress itself. We (the people) of the United States need to send a message to them and make it fast, because as of right now they are not getting the message and this is the only way this plan could ever work. Our Government at present state has forgotten this, and the only other contingency plan would be to stop them from their selves.
