Over half of Obama’s plan is either tax cuts, unemployment or continuing health care coverage for people in danger of losing it. Where is the actual plan to retool America?
Where is the Manufacturing plan for America?
The true way to add wealth is to take a raw material, make it into something and then sell it for a profit. Unfortunately we don’t do that anymore. The USA is now the largest exporter of raw materials in the world and the largest debtor nation in the world. Pushing paper around doesn’t create anything.
During the Great Depression we were the largest Creditor nation in the world, the largest exporter of manufactured goods and had no personal debt. A rosy scenario compared to today.
want fries w/ that?
