What isn't being addressed is we need to go back to that concept, where everyone who worked hard at a job they were qualified would make a living and have the opportunity for upward mobility. Debt for a mortgage and not much else was paid ASAP. A family could put money in the bank and get enough interest on it to be able to grow savings for future needs. Jobs were stable enough so that most people could stay in their communities while the children grew up.
It's that middle class environment of security and opportunity that made America great. I can't imagine how the US ever returns to that. The middle class cannot be restored without jobs that pay the bills for almost everyone and without a worthwhile amount of interest on bank savings. (I'd think at least 3% to encourage people to pay off their debts and start saving)
I agree.
It all boils down to having jobs.
Which all boils down to having meaningful industry.
Which means getting rid of environmental, bureaucratic, legislative, and tax-burdening overheads to make industry attractive for those who want to invest and run a business.
People have jobs.
People have income.
Tax coffers rise.
Everyone wins!
THAT is why I think Trump is indeed the man for the job. He understands working in a competitive work-oriented environment.
Not like the last POS we had who never worked a day in his life.
but will they go back to one car, one landline, no Disney vacations, cut price clothing, homemade food, no eating out, three tv channels, using the library, no or one sport for the kids, no after school programs for enrichment unless free.....?
