10 Politicians and political thinkers offer one idea each for how government should spend (or not spend) taxpayers' money.

As procrastinating Canadians rush to file their tax returns before deadline, we want to know what you think the government should be doing with our money.

We asked 10 Canadian politicians and political thinkers to each suggest one idea that government should pursue to help Canada emerge from the global recession and create a stable and sustainable 21st century economy.

Check out the fixes and tell us which one would get your vote.
