Key to Economic Recovery

The economy is on everyone's mind. How do we get people back to work? There are two choices. First, have the government spend more money. Second, grow the private sector through tax reduction and government spending cuts. Which works?

Let's go back in time to 1847 when the Mormon pioneers entered the Salt Lake Valley. They were experiencing a profound depression. The Salt Lake Valley was a desert; no homes, no businesses, and no farms. What did the Mormon pioneers do? Did they start printing money or start working?
