So no, for the 100th time, you, vitty, dante ect., have never offered a single iota of a policy idea that would create economic growth. Nothing, nada, zero and if you even respond I'll guarantee you it won't include a serious idea on economic growth.
Work on pushing up the minimum wage. If you don't want to legislate it, use programs and incentives to force the market to do it itself naturally.

Legislate to help homeowners unlock and use that equity for the benefit of the economy.

Housing is cheap in the USA compared to other developed nations. The potential 'free' wealth available in that area is huge. Plus in a bullish housing market people feel richer and spend more.

Sure, throw in some tax incentives for the rich to help facilitate all that, but focusing on the top end and hoping for trickle down will keep increasing the wealth gap and slowing consumption among the masses. The end game of that strategy is eventual disaster.

I think even the big end of town is starting to see spending some money now on fattening the cattle is a better strategy than continuing to milk them until dry.
