That plan does not address health care, which is a scandal. It does not address wealth inequity, which is not a scandal, but generational wealth inequity is definitely a scandal. It does not address our propensity to fight very expensive wars against nations that are not really a threat to the USA.
I know you agree with me on that last one, but, if not reined in, imperialistic Presidents will start wars just to prove we are the toughest guy in the bar. Hillary has been saying some scary, permanent war footing sort of stuff lately, and nobody in the media seems to care. After all, it's not nearly as important as being bitter or whether McCain is happy that a racist preacher endorsed him. She shares one trait with Bush: she thinks she knows what's best even when she doesn't.
Our economy has to encourage innovation. We also have to enforce the rules on NAFTA and other trade agreements. Yes, many countries can produce some things cheaper than we can, but many of them do so without following the agreed to rules. If they don't follow reasonable environmental and human rights rules (in the work place), then the idea of trading with them tariff free is silly. |
