![]() It sounds like you have read plenty of books on this subject. What is the solution? Is there a solution? What types of policies should be implemented to reverse the path we are going down?

![]() I honestly don't see a solution because those that benefit would be responsible for changing the rules.

![]() The people who make policy are obviously the lawmakers in Washington. And they obviously don't represent the people. They represent special interests. So I understand that things won't change. But in an imaginary world if we had people in congress who actually represented the people instead of special interest groups, what would they need to do to reverse the path we are on?

![]() Raise minimum wage to where it should be, 10.50 an hour. Make future increases automatic with cost of living, like ss is done. Put everyone in medicare, which abolishes medicaid and the broken va health system right off the bat. That gives everyone basic care, and one can buy supplements just like the elderly do. no more subsidizing rich corporations, which is a higher budget expense than subsidies to the poor!
