Americans already work more hours than most other countries in the civilized world. We take fewer vacations, and work more hours according to many studies that have been done.Really the two options left are: take a massive paycut while deregulating everything and return to Industrial Revolution era environmental and safety regulations to encourage businesses to stay here (which is why they're flocking to India and other places that are horribly polluted and have a low standard of living), or, discontinuing to do business with asshat businessmen that put short term gains over long-term stability.The latter of the two is the only real option I see.
