They are saying we will be in this recession/depression for at least five years even with the package

It is mostly payback to those who got him elected.

these jobs don't create goods and/or services,

Sooooo ... fixing up the infrastructure does not create services ... no goods are needed for that task?

I'm sure the paper industry will be enamored. Most of the positions created will be paper pushing jobs.

Fixing up the infrastructure does not create services ... no goods are needed for that task?

In subsequent years, the word has grown in popularity and been applied with increasing generality to suggest the internal framework discernible in any technology system or business organization.

Uncompensated offshoring needs to be eliminated. You offshore your labor then you either pay increased taxes or your product is considered import and TARRIFFED so.

Tax Loopholes need to be closed

Board conflict of interests need to be prosecuted

Corporate personhood and lobbying stopped

Can't do it. This is illegal under the treaties that have been signed and ratified in order to make the WTO, which is, interestingly enough, the only International Organization that can make any binding decision against countries.

Good luck. One can attempt to make something as air tight as possible, but it is almost always possible to find a way around things, and people will find those ways. It is part of human nature, and why a lot of corporations pay top dollar for lawyers and accountants, to find these loopholes. I would suggest that this is almost impossible, if not impractical.

A conflict of interests is almost an ethical gray area. On top of that, it is almost impossible to make a decision that does not contain some sort of conflict of interests on some level. Also, considering the sociological principal that has shown consistently that 10% of the people do 90% of the work, you would quickly run out of people or have some extremely lazy people making important decisions.

Corporate personhood makes sense, yes. However, lobbying is something that one can not stop, be it corporate or otherwise. Ever since it was decided that money = speech, and that all people have a freedom of speech, it has been created an ability for those who have the most money to have the most access. All corporate personhood would stop is GM from coming in a lobbying a legislature. It would not stop G. Richard Wagoner Jr. from lobbying.

While your ideas are good ideas, I would suggest that they are all but impractical, and in some cases, border on unconstitutional.

Mostly because you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about or the Constitution

Absolutely can do it, it has nothing to do with the WTO don't even get me started. Before you start arguing with me at least have your ducks in a row. First and foremost Congress not the WTO or the UN or anything else determines our import and export rules.
In the words of Yule Brenner "so let it be written so let it be done". Ladies and Gentleman the US Constitution
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;"
"To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes"
"To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States"
Are we clear here? It can be done it should be done and it needs to be done.

Thats because we keep putting lawyers into congress not because we can't make the laws tight. More over this goes into the issue of corporate personhood and its representation and lobbies in government which is honestly illegal on its face but we'll cover that later.

Does anyone else want to point out to him the idiocy of this statement? Other then the fact that its happening right now?

Corporate's are not supposed to be people. They are not intended under the Constitution to have rights ergo they aren't allowed to lobby. The whole damn problem of money=speech and all people have freedom isn't even in exsistance if we finally correct a very stupid oversight that's been going on since the 1860's. Corporates are NOT people, one very STUPID Federal judge ruled in a case and in the opinion supporting that ruling said that Corporates must have been intended as people since they are not mentioned in the Constitution and it must have been an oversight/or they didn't know that there would be corporations The actual fact of the matter is the Founders DID know about Corporations and were fighting against them as much as the Crown of England as it was the Dutch East India company that got the tea tax raised in the first place. Further they specifically left commerce which includes corporations as regulated by every branch and level of government. So we have been dealing with a situation that NEVER should have happened except in Hamilton's wet dreams in the first place.

You are right that it would not stop G Richard Wagoner Jr from lobbying but HE would have to show up himself as himself and all his doing be duly recorded. Very different from modern lobbying.

A few Republicans are creating a media circus out of a few minor items

Make items here in this country for comsumption by those in this country (and creating products that people overseas might just want too). Stop importing goods into this country that we can make ourselves.
