One of Jamie Galbraith's ideas is to increase Social
Security benefits and have a payroll tax holiday.  Older people will spend everything they get right away.  Why save! Employers can take the 8.3% they save not paying their payroll taxes and use it for job creation, raising wages, or investing in infrastructure.  Workers could pay their mortgages with their 8.3%.  

We were all told how important symbolism was during the primary.  Well, having Congress listen to the people who are overwhelmingly against this money going to the foxes would be a powerful symbol that democracy is back.  

Putting blind faith in one man and his supply side economic team will lead us further down a path of no return.
