The problem is everyone is looking for a solution without ever dissecting the problem to its root causes, and then attacking the causes en masse. This "singular path" type of fix presupposes there is a "silver bullet" cure.

We're in this mess because of a combination of root causes: 1) lousy balance of payments: 2) Ponzi-syle banking practices with the hopes that the acme will never be found; 3) illegal immigration which floods the labor force with cheap labor, reducing the value of these jobs and taking those wages via remittances ($40Billion worth) shipped out of the US each year; 4) foreign policy which is based on "rewarding" via most-favored-trading-partner status, which subsequently destroys the domestic manufacturing base and impacts negatively the balance of payments problem; 5)........ this could go on for pages!

Just throwing money into the air and seeing whether it solves anything is like farming where one throws seed on the ground without tilling, sowing and erecting scarecrows.

If there is ever going to be a "fix," we must first make a bunch of mini-fixes on each of the root causes. Otherwise, we're just trying to patch a sinking ship from the outside of the hull, without ever looking at why there's water in the hold to start with.
