What's the Fix?, ABC continued to ask as it tried to find solutions to the nation's dysfunctional economy. Monday David Muir looked at the burst bubble that used to be the Phoenix housing market. Tuesday Betsy Stark studied all those depleted 401(k) accounts for newly-strapped Asheville NC retirees. Now Bill Weir travels to Elkhart, the Indiana town where unemployment has zoomed from 4% to 12% in a single year because the market for recreational vehicles, which are made there, has collapsed. You remember Elkhart. It is where Seth Doane mourned the plight of the shuttered Dakota restaurant (here and here) in CBS' The Other America series. Weir's fix for unemployment turned out to be a combination of green subsidies, infrastructure stimulus, job retraining plus his advice to "apply, volunteer and pray."
