Another thing is to stop tying healthcare to employment via tax benefits for employers.

So many people are stuck in less than ideal jobs because the employer-provided healthcare system is nuts. On top of that many of these plans aren't even that great any more.

It seems that giving free healthcare, a free place to live, enough food and internet to everyone would be a good idea to stimulate the economy. Jobs would be generated by themselves if people then want a higher standard of living but no longer have to fight to survive.
