you really think the main reason they are not prospering is lack of "free" education?
Why is this?

US unemployment isn't the fault of Governments. They don't have the power to move businesses. You can blame them for not giving businesses everything they demand, bottom line is, a Government can impose import controls from the Third World.

The problem is high earners have seen their income soar. The rest have not. GDPper capita is rising on a good level. It's not going to the average people though, it's going to the very elite.

Too poorly educated to get better jobs, if those jobs haven't been exported yet. And all the time.



This is the fault of the Government. Migration and births have to be controlled. Especially as businesses go East, automation and your client base shrinks.

All this means the Democrats are assured of a win after win. All they need to do is get their people out.

It's strange how a discussion about not throwing money into bottomless pits of wars that always lose more money than they bring in. Has turned into a discussion of not improving the health and education of people which always produce a profit.
