What should government do to stimulate the economy?

Let’s see what New York Times readers think.  Right now there’s only one comment and it’s not totally encouraging:

Triple the minimum wage.

That would bring it more in line with
increases in efficiency and rates in the late 70s. People make more,
they spend more. All the money is just tied up in investments now, like
bonds in Fannie and Freddie.

But surely the quality of the answers will improve as the day passes, no?  No?  No?

Help!
