Hey, I’ve got an idea! In order to support our high standard of living, we should mandate higher wages! Employers will pay these higher wages because we will force them to charge more for their products! And everyone should live in their own house, too! We will make it easier for people to get mortgages! What can possibly go wrong?
At this point almost anything is better than what we’re doing.
Your way has been tried long enough.
Bring back our factories and our jobs. To America. Or close them.
