Today yes it takes two incomes to make ends meet. With that parents are not home to supervise there growing children. There is less dispensable income for savings, the cost of electricity, food, clothing, cars, rent and ownership of homes is the highest in history. Medical and dental benefits is higher than ever in history because there are no caps on lawsuits for malpractice and no freezing of insurance rates due to their influence by lobbyists in congress.
Unions decline as those companies outsourcing for lower wages. The bottom line dividends for profit is more important that providing a job for the people of a community. Christmas Ebineezer's Scrooge has become a role model for many CEO's today to emulate today. They receive millions in bonus and benefits even after bankruptcy or a bailout by the government. Workers today need retraining more than ever in history. We need a 20 moratorium on all outsourcing and insourcing of labor. The United States needs more of a protectionism for this economy to protect jobs from leaving. We the people, need to have high import tariffs to discourage importing of goods, we need to return 20 million manufacturing jobs to America. The costs of buying these items due to the laws of supply and demand. Instead of 500% profits they will return to the modist 25%-50% markups as of 50 years ago.
