Surely the American society is what needs to be recovered not the American economy. The vision has already become the wrong debate. People live in a society, the pursuit of monetary wealth built on consumerism holds out the transitory illusion of satisfaction which the "American dream " is built on but 10 trillion won't make the experience of being a human person in America any different unless the issue of the human experience is at the center of the vision. It will take a special "thinker" to come up with that vision. Good luck. I think you are asking the wrong question, and consequently will arrive at the wrong solutions.
