#1: Government can get the heck out of the way of business. The interlocking maze of red tape to get almost anything started is overwhelming, and expensive. Every time government says "I'm going to protect you from.." they mean "I'm going to cost you a ton of money and blame you for ..."
I don't mean kill reasonable health and safety regulations, but just reduce the complexity to a reasonable level ? It's crazy.. you have to hire expensive consultants and lawyers who can work through the maze.
#2: Banks can use #1 to relax and start loaning money to businesses, especially small businesses, to allow them to expand.
#3: Educate the workforce. My company spends WAY more than it ever used to educating our workforce. Why ? Because the kids out of high school are too undereducated and unprepared for a the modern manufacturing environment. We should *not* have to teach basic math (Addition ! Subtraction ! Division !) and English Composition skills to High School graduates.
