Had America had similiar policies, along with encouraging a higher birthrate, we would be a hundred times better and stronger than the sewer we live in today.
YOU made the sewer. You wanted cheap stuff from China. You wanted cheap food, and cheap gas.
When I was a child, a man could make a good living and support his family with a strong back, and a willingness to work. Today, those jobs are GONE. Men have to have a degree and even then, he can lose someone that will accept less money for the same work.
Women can find work cleaning houses, working as bartenders or barristas, office work, or being a personal care worker in a nursing home or private care. Women have more opportunities available in our 21st Century economy, in large part, because companies can pay them less than men. Women are still earning 80 cents for every dollar a man makes in the same job.
Your economic system isn't based on quality, it's based on price. How can you make it for less money and keep more of the profit. The US economy has always relied on a large pool of cheap/slave labour to build wealth.
First the Slaves.
The the Chinese and Mexican "guest" workers
And in recent years - undocumented immigrants.
