A solution: “RAISE TAXES”? 

Totally agree! I believe it’s important to help out other countries, but not at the expense of our own. Re-evaluating the budget and identifying where cuts can be made is definitely a first step. We also are over taxed. Income tax, taxes on goods, there is a tax for everything it seems. Lower rates could help people keep more of their hard earned money and allow businesses to thrive while keeping prices at affordable costs for their consumers.

@@libertymom if the citizens don't get the value to which they pay their hard earned money as taxes, demand to lower taxes is a valid thing to do. Also immigrants and losing factory jobs to china and all those things... They have to make a way to increase spending and keep the economy in place too. Heard the debt ratio is hitting the roof.

Enlighten me- how does it work? How am I wrong?

I’m always willing to learn-- how am I wrong? How does it work?

You aren’t on social media to learn. If you wanted to learn, you’d pick up a book on Macro economics. Or, sign up for a course in Economics at your local community college. That what is you do to gain a structured understanding of any art or science. You are here for clicks.
