In spite of losing millions of manufacturing jobs over the last 25 years, we make more stuff here at USAmerica Inc than ever before.
The problem is that the labor force has been shut out of the benefits of the dramatic increases in productivity, and we can't get government to do anything that might help average workers adapt to an economy that changes so fast they have practically no chance to keep up.
I don't know what to do about it, but I do know that the corporate bosses are lying to us through their armies of lobbying firms and coin-operated politicians.
We don' get a fix on any of this until we can count on having a reasoned discussion about it, and we can't have that discussion until we figure out how to make the big money stop skewing the data.
Propaganda works.
