  79. Recession, how to stop one. By Robert Reich. This has to be a good solution. He suggests we start really pumping big money into the country's infrastructure. There might be no better way to spend money. Even if you have to borrow money, it is always a good idea to spend money on infrastructure. Even if you do not have money, it is a good idea to spend your time building things you need. That is a good idea for any person, family or government.

    Also see Reich's recent article on the economy. Most of what he says is valid -- but building infrastructure should be our biggest goal
