How to Help America

We need to think differently than the past 40 years. Since Reagan the US has been free trade, lower prices and all about profits. Profits made overseas. Our incomes have been declining, jobs leaving the US, manufacturing non existent and the economy really weak. If we look at other countries we can learn alot and do things to help our country. China is one of our main competitors and a country that we have a trade deficit with. Many people think they are our main threat. What are they doing? State supported banks can lend money to business and people. Our banks hold funds, take bonuses and create poor loans and bad decisions. State run banks without profit motive can provide funds in good and bad times. The Bank of North Dakota is a State bank that is a shining example of good rates, good loan decisions and a local bank to help people. If we have public banks, profit would be out of the banking and loans can be made. We can make good decisions that help everyone. Tariffs? Taxes to bring jobs home? Laws to support unions and workers. We need to enforce regulations and laws that are on the books. Help workers fight the employer and get paid. We need to make sure people are paid overtime, wages, have breaks and are taken care of. We need jobs in US but not at bargain prices. We need to pay workers and make money. Help each other and help America. We need to support the building of roads, bridges, pipelines and internet. We need infrastrucure and the post office. Help us help America. Any other ideas? What is good to help America?
