Just throwing this out there...
According to the CIA World Factbook, Singapore's economy grew 14.5% in real terms in 2010. That's compared to the US's 2.8% growth in 2010. Singapore's unemployment is also much lower at 2.2% vs. the US's 9.6% as of 2010.
I could make a deeper analysis, but I think 99% of this board would be uninterested. The gist of what I'm saying is: Perhaps it's time to try a different approach? 
Our economy is being sucked dry by a central bank, poor tax/regulatory polices and a very
unfree market/capitalist system of bailing out large businesses that should die and wasting capital on picking winners and losers via favors/bailouts/tax welfare etc.
Everything this nation has done to "Save" the economy from every single recession over the last 30 or so years has done the opposite....it's sucked this nation dry and littered the landscape with distorted markets and zombie companies.
The OWS people are retarded for calling this sys. in America a capitalist/free market one. It simply isn't.
