Then we have hit a cross roads, you all find it ok for multi-billion dollar corporations to hire people only part time and pay them low wages and offer no benefits so that they can make 70billion a year instead of 69.5billion.

If you want this country to turn around a few things need to happen imo

Repeal the 17th amendment.
Secure the borders.
Kick out the illegals.
Do away with all free trade agreements
Mandate employer provided health insurance.

Kicking out the illegals will reduce costs on HC and states.
Madating employer provided helth insurance will reduce health care costs for all- To think that this will cause a drastic increase in prices for consumer shows you have no knowledge of basic economics.

Doing away with free trade will keep companies from shipping our jobs overseas for what basically amounts to slave labor, and bring jobs back, strengthening the dollar.

Repealing the 17th amendment will reduce the power of the Federal Govt, and put a lot more power back in the states hands.

If something doesnt happen, our markets will crash again in the next few years, and there will be no stopping it. It should have already happened and it wouldnt have been nearly as bad, and we would be recovering, but now it is set up to be a catastrophe. 30-40% unemployment, the world will dump the dollar, and for atleast the rest of our lives, things are not going to be good. We have no manufacturing jobs to fall back on, we are purely a consumer market, and when the dollar fails, so will our country.
