Legislate the economy by the pen. Write into law and voila! It happens!
I don't think it is going to happen this time. The legislators are behind the times. They have been overtaken by the events.

They have this myopic view that the country is omnipotent that can turn economic events upon which they have no control.

That was true when the US monopolist capitalism ruled, the country had the control in its hands. Could impose treaties, topple governments, buy good behavior of foreign governments, rally the American people behind a cause and had the money to pay for that.

Those times are over. It is a brand new ball game.
