Re: GOP destroyed U.S. economy
Who's to blame isn't really important. Passing around blame doesn't solve problems.
​
Analyze the situation. Appeal to the present and to the past to determine what went wrong.
​
Eliminate the causes of that wrong.
​
Take steps to lessen the effect of that wrong.
​
Cross fingers.

Re: Let's have the wealthy speak out in favor of higher taxes
It really is that simple.
​
And that's just the problem: the simple stuff doesn't even get addressed.
​
What hope can there be for fixing the tougher stuff?

Re: Should The Wealthy Recover Most?
If a wealthy businessman has no customers who can afford his products, he will not recover either.
​
This becomes the crippler of Reaganomics: Supply doesn't drive production, DEMAND does. No one makes a factory to produce widgets that nobody is going to buy. It matters not how much money you fork over to the rich and the 'entre-manures', they will never provide any jobs for anything if there isn't a demand for the crap they want to make.
​
Not that demand alone is sufficient; it must be balanced. And so it is certainly not only a matter of supply.

Re: Should The Wealthy Recover Most?
The US just is not needed as a market anymore.
​
And I assume that includes labor market as well?
​
How can we make ourselves needed? And who is it that we are making need us anyway?

Re: Should The Wealthy Recover Most?
What would make a US worker of value?
​
But to whom is it that we'd be making ourselves more valuable?
