    Let me outline a project which can help create jobs and stimulate economy

    Yes this is a hard time for us in USA with daily news of fluctuating market and people more focused on stock market, bad news of auto market and housing market.
    Solutions; what is the major talents of the US, It is marketing which has been neglected in the past years. There are countries who like to have US products; still name and fame for American products are across the globe, not to mention still in the countries I have visited Mustang is still craze, so to me marketing is the key, if we can focus on the marketing indirectly it will stimulate economy. “Marketing of US products across the world”
    Secondly
    Teaching English
    This is the time for the US to teach English to countries who don’t have access to vast literature and scientific knowledge as they don’t read, write or speak English for a nominal fees. Due to the latest technology development it can be done thru internet.
    Not only English all advanced subjects which other countries need or lacking for a nominal fees, it will help selling more books and use of many resources which has been rusted.
