How Do We Create More Jobs In The U.S.?

Job creation...
CSPAN asked 'What Would You Do To Create More Jobs In The U.S.?'

So, I'm thinking, "what do we want most?" Green energy creation on a steep incline of innovation. That's what I'd like to see. Oh yeah, and jobs. So, to begin with, you create a search Commitee designed to gather, vet, and fund green companies with Stimulus money. We would use the defination of green companies/green jobs loosely and fund on a sliding scale based on a combination of several factors including things like the # of jobs created by the money given.

But we want to concentrate on growing the United States Green Industrial Revolution. So, if there will exist any green element of the venture included in the cost of its doing business, there should be grants available for that venture. Larger funding for potential small business/non-profit works would be available for those who promise to work in good faith to be as green as possible.

Corporate greed. Now that has to be dealt with. Howz about we attempt to encourage proper Executive Compensation levels? What say any company that agrees to put a ceiling on compensation levels for their executives, should have access to low interest loans through the Fed. Low interest loans in general would solve alot of problems and the government could make money on the money. If a company agrees to reinvest profits (those available over a certain percentage) back in the company and literally create more jobs, they'd get to the front of the line. I guess basically, we should finacially encourage proper Executive Compensation.

If money is what our business sector listens to, let's talk money with them. Make jobs, get money. Create a green product with a green company, get money. Give raises to those at the lowest levels of your company, get money (for corporations over 100 people or something). Maybe we'd start to foster civil behavior by corporations.

What do YOU think we should do?
