Multinationals (and China, India, etc.) have all the money because we’ve off-shored all of our manufacturing jobs.
Ultimately, if we don’t address the “globalization” problem, nothing can be fixed — not Social Security/Medicare, nor the govt deficits, nor the housing “crisis,” nor the unemployment problem, etc. We cannot get back on track until we bring our jobs back to the U.S. and pay people a decent living wage.
