I have been hearing an ad about buying a product for “these bad economic times”. Sounds like a Dem ad. What bad economic times? Unemployment is 4.1%, considered very low. Real GDP growth is over 3%, considered very good. There are plenty of jobs available if you want to work. Yes inflation is higher than ideal, but it isn’t 9% like during Bidementia. We are doing far better than other developed countries. We have our economic problems, but to call this bad economic times is absurd.
What we do have is a human resource problem. We have a plethora of fraudsters and slackers. We have an increasingly poorly educated workforce, due to the focus of public schools and university on ideology. We have a poor sense of personal responsibility for making something out of your life and a high sense of victimhood and excuse-making. That affects our economy. We need to maximize every human’s abilities and contributions to society and our economy. We aren’t even close to doing that. And Dems want to make it worse by more handouts that aren’t tied to working, or learning, or good behaviors. If we don’t fix the human resource problem, the economy will inevitably begin slowing and our society will continue to decay.
