In America tonight, tens of millions of men and women will struggle to get to sleep because they are stressed out about not making enough money even though they are working as hard as they possibly can.
They are called "the working poor", and their numbers are absolutely exploding.
Well, the truth is that unemployment is not actually going down, and the real unemployment numbers are actually much worse than what is officially being reported by the government.
Our economy continues to bleed good paying middle class jobs, and to a large degree those jobs are being replaced by low income jobs.
Approximately one-fourth of all American workers make 10 dollars an hour or less at this point, and we see them all around us every day.
Our big corporations continue to ship huge numbers of good paying manufacturing and IT jobs out of the country, and millions of Americans have been forced to scramble to find whatever work is available.
Today, there are so many very talented American workers that are trapped in low wage work.

Sadly, both political parties ignore the poor. conservatives hate their guts and the Democrats focus on the middle class.
It is a shame that the political interests of these Americans are being under served by our current political parties.
Hopefully once the economy is growing again, this nation can focus on poor people and stagnating wages, exploding college costs, etc that impact the poor most of all.
This is the great challenge for America going forward. How do we turn low paying jobs into better paying jobs in much the same way we did for many manufacturing jobs that were lowing and dangerous?
How do we get more Americans to go to and complete college?
How do we stop the stagnating wages of the bottom 90% of American wage earners?

Start a world war and destroy the economy of the developed developing world.
The job loss to Mexico is a drop in the bucket compared to the jobs sent and still being sent to China and India. Actually, jobs in Mexico have an upside - they help to incentivize them to remain there.
Incentivize? I`ve heard that word used before and that`s one horrible word.I`d lose that one as quick as possible.

Lol, well that is one solution. Although, I think strengthening workers rights, changing tax policy, making college more affordable, increasing the productivity of service jobs, etc might help as well.

Hate their guts? That is language of low life. No one hates anyone, at least on my conservative side but I do not have any respect for someone who lives off the labor of other people. These people don't have respect for themselves. They don't respect other people either. It's all about what they can get for nothing. There is nothing respectable about it no matter how you dress it.
Greed is taking something and not giving anything in return.
Economy growing again? lol, as long as you have a country that is hostile toward capitalism and business as this administration and the people are it will happen at a snails pace. You can't soak money out of the economy and after the government takes their huge handling fee then give to non-producers and expect growth.

So exactly how do you propose making college more affordable. If you think subsidizing is the answer you are mistaken because subsidizing is the cause of the skyrocketing cost.
