NYT: Majority Of New Jobs Pay Low Wages, Study Says

unions aren't needed where working conditions are good, job security is adequate, pay is fair, and there's opportunity for workers to be rewarded for hard work and loyalty. i would argue that's not the norm these days. it is, however, present in some areas of manufacturing, and i applaud that.

no one has even proposed the level of rebuilding that we really need. building a couple extra roads isn't enough.

it's pretty simple, really. we can pay people who want to work an entitlement, or we can hire them to build the infrastructure we've been neglecting in favor of building that same infrastructure in other countries. i prefer a rebuild America plan.

Got it, so the more people on food stamps the stronger the economy, and that's the resource to creating an economy from the bottom up.

Mid to late 20th century.

No, food stamp participation is oft a sign of a weak economy as you well know, but food stamps themselves are not a burden on the economy because the frequency said benefits are place back into circulation within the local community, affecting local grocers, produce farmers and shipping companies in a positive manner. In any case such benefits provide an excellent alternative to the poor being forced to pay for absolute necessities out of whatever savings they may have stored away, such a situation would prove to be an immediate drag on the economy.
