Take time to not do it at all. Cut regulation of small businesses instead, institute loser pays legal reform, and initiate a national health system for catastrophic costs only, (folks who want prevention or costs up to 10,000 can buy their own insurance) get rid of Medicare/Medicaid. All that would do far more to stimulate business and would not send the country into hyperinflation.
