The solution is what Trump was doing.

Get the economy going full blast.
End illegal immigration to reduce labor supply.
Limit legal immigration to reduce labor supply.
Put tariffs in place to force more production back to America creating jobs.
Tariffs also help pay for the benefits for the unemployed.
Increase the supply of energy driving the price down, a major economic input.
More job demand vs lower labor supply increases real wages. Helping lift people out of poverty.

Yes. It isn’t rocket science.

Making industry and commerce profitable puts people to work.

Industry and Commerce are made more profitable by decreasing regulatory legislation and red tape, and making investment attractive.

Keeping energy costs down is a rising tide that will lift all boats. (I can’t stand hearing people complain about the rising cost of EVERYTHING, in light of the fact that energy costs are deliberately being elevated for ideological reasons)

Protecting our industry by preventing intellectual property theft and unfair, immoral, and illegal trading practices (as commerce is practiced by China) is critical.

Workers pay taxes and buy goods and services keeping others in jobs.

Reducing the labor supply by being more selective about who is let in legally and completely eliminating illegal immigration is key.

These are all things Trump was doing diligently and it was paying off.

Good post, DannyTN. This is obvious, but needs saying. Thank you for doing so.
