Wag of the Finger to New York Times Readers
The typical steriotype of the average New York Times reader is someone who is well educated, well informed, and likes do do really difficult cross-words. In general you would think this leads to readers who are smarter than the average bear, but this is not encouraging.
Here are some of their terrible ideas about what the government should do to stimulate the economy:
Triple the minimum wage.
That would bring it more in line with increases in efficiency and rates in the late 70s. People make more, they spend more. All the money is just tied up in investments now, like bonds in Fannie and Freddie.
Increases in the price of petroleum (oil) increase the cost of food, transportation, manufasturing, and the costofliving. We need the government to subsidize it until we develop alternative forms of energy to replace it: A Manhattan like project. Not doing so will let our car companies and airlines die along with the economy.
Stop letting companies ship jobs overseas and stop the bogus necessity visas that let foreigners come here and take U.S. professional jobs for low salaries.
