How to get things growing again? ~ People helping People

How to get things growing again?

What can we do? I suggest that "we" start doing business with each other until the lending institutions, Banks, the stock market and the rest of the economy join in.

How do we do this? First, do most of your business local in your community, as opposed to on line purchases, out of town or big national retailers like Wal-Mart. Go to the farmers market or buy fresh local seafood. A famous quote "all Politics are local", well so are all "Economics".
