The easy fix is cut Government waste, but it won't work as well as higher taxes or higher manufacturing in the US . Same goes for most Western economies.

Ridiculous govt spending - small amount of people making alot of money.
Exporting jobs, importing goods - small amount of people making alot of money.
Defense spending - small amount of people making alot of money. Sure alot of people make a living in defense industries but this is a small amount compared to the damage done to the country's economic viability affecting millions and millions of people.
benefit the few at the expense of many, and so it goes until one day...fail.
I laugh and cringe when all the news is about how these politicians can't agree on budget in order to lift the debt ceiling. Lift the debt ceiling.
Yes that's what's really important, the ability to add more financial stress to the system and keep future generations buried.
