Economic Stimulus? - please spare us

There is much talk recently about our economic woes.
Many of the politicians are talking about how the country needs a stimulus.
They want to give away money so that people will spend it and that will make everything better somehow.
I fail to see how that fixes anything. In fact, it will make matters worse because the money they either borrow or print to "stimulate" the economy will result in either the further debasing of the dollar and/or inflation.

If they REALLY want to stimulate the economy here is a list of things I think would help:

• Balance the budget
• Stop printing money
• End the war
• Reduce the size of government
  
• Cut taxes (individual and corporate)
  
• Eliminate the Death tax
• Eliminate the AMT (Alternate Minimum Tax)
  

Just my humble opinion.
