Do not count on Washington to fix our economic problem. They are too blind to see it.

 

The problem we have is a lack of history and foresight when it comes to our economic problems that we have today. Many focus on the last two administrations, going to war on a borrowed dime and overspending buy this administration as well as the last. Yes these are contributing factors, but unless you add the totality of continuous failed economic policy with regard to trade! Then no amount of proposals will work to reverse this economic stalemate. We as a nation have also sold ourselves short when it comes to education with regard to trade. We need to bring back trade education back into the education system. Not all students will go to college however we have an untapped resource of students that could be our future plumbers and electricians ECT…. Some states are experimenting with trade education via a public and privet partnership and also are changing the curriculum to at least have a student graduate with an AA degree.  The health care law had placed burdens on families because the price of health insurance has gone up.  So unless both parties come to a conclusion that it is best to work with each other for the good of the country! I am afraid that the future is not looking to great thus the middle class will end up on the lower class of the totem pole.
