By the government. You're right.Regardless the many recommendations that we might propose, in the end they are bandaids.
The United States was a viable economy all to its own before we started shipping jobs overseas and swinging the gates wide open to illegal immigration.
Immigration is fine, but a nation should monitor it so that the people who are already citizens can compete fairly for the jobs at hand and be paid their worth. That worth, in the free market, is determined by supply and demand...something every capitalist can understand.
It was when big business, government and others began playing with this formula that the playing field became unstable, and good paying jobs began to disappear.
No such thing as a free market - The market is highly manipulated.
There is no such thing as supply and demand - Again, manipulated.
Are you still pitching that bullshit that Bush deregulated the economy and caused the crash?
