I had been asked to do a set up on the USA, I was going to do a full tutorial, but time wont permit so I'll leave you with a basic outline (its hard to go wrong as the USA!) and the saved game file. I hope this helps some!

Here is typically what I do;
1) Align to the Allies.
2) Raise threat on Germany (this doesn't always work, its worth the risk however).
3) I shoot for a 400 "base" IC in my build.
4) I fortify only the 4 VP Pacific Isles and the Panama Canal. I do one spot at a time and place their items (AA, Forts, Radar etc...) in the top of the queue so they will "cook" the IC practicals. For example I start with Guam. When all their items are done except for maybe some forts than I'll move on to the next spot and toss their items in the top of the queue, and so on...
5) I do not worry about cooking practicals of units UNTIL my IC runs are done. Unlike other players I am not overly concerned. I will have a huge Industry allowing me to get my practicals back in shape in no time, and even if I didnt I will have enough IC to make whatever I want. When Im running at 6-700 IC It isnt that important to get a practical from 12 to 10...
6) Once I have the ability to produce units I begin cookinng practicals. One of each capital ship, 2 of each escort type. Then one of each air unit. I'll make one armor unit. I'll do a few rounds like this, then start putting in key air and sea units in small groups (say 5 or so).

Here is how the game stands;
It is Oct, 1 1941...
I have unlocked Harm, Spart, Superior Firepower etc... Your running at 600+ IC which will jump once your at War! I have placed "token" GARx2 on all domestic ports. The Hawaiian Islands and the Panama Canal are fortified and each has 2 divisions (INFx3 / AA & INFx3 / Eng). The Philippines has 5 Divisions of INFx3 / ART / Eng). The queue has several rounds of Naval and Air units. You have a stack of INF x 3 to do with what you wish.

Sorry I didnt have the time to do a proper tutorial, but I think you will find this build can accomplish all your goals. I stopped the game in time for you to distribute the air and sea units to your likely. Have fun!

If you need some help, let me know, I seem to be doing something with a USA game . Though that is not for beginners, but I don't mind to do one .
. Though that is not for beginners, but I don't mind to do one .
I know it is an old thread, but I was wondering if you recommend the USA increasing its dissent to the point that the USA has less than 30IC? This would active the Prepare for War Decision and your neutrality would decrease by 0.20 per day. This would allow the USA to press better laws. And then you try to build up the IC after you get the dissent down. In addition, if you rise the threat level of Germany, as you suggested, you can join the Allies early enough and hopefully the Al would declares war on Germany so you get -10% Wartime Consumer Demand.
Thanks all for help on this one. Would not have got it working without all great advice. Can`t be sure but turning fullscreen off may have been the final breakthrough.
