[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1425269, member: 27490"] Joe, I should explain because we are talking apples and oranges. Our economy is unsustainable. The United States has trillions of dollars of debt. Government spending is essential to maintain our GDP. That spending is financed at the rate of 40 cents on the dollar. The US is a consumer/service economy. We are where the rest of the world sells its manufactured goods. A consumer/service economy does not provide an abundance of good paying jobs. I believe more people would rather work than be on welfare if the jobs are there. It may take time to create the type of economic climate to change the welfare culture, but I believe it would in time. I am not knocking people who do service work. The problem is - it does not create enough wealth. We are a subsistence economy. People who sell goods, mow yards, trim trees, etc. make a living but that does not create wealth like manufacturing.
