Corrupt business grows out of corrupt and ineffective government, not the other way around. We can never clean up corruption in business without first cleaning up the government that allows it and even fosters it. And don't give me this crap that it's only the repubs. Bullshit, it's both sides giving breaks and cutting deals to feather their own nests.
But Americans could change all this but they won't, why, because they like cheap and cheap comes from third world nations mainly. Consider as one example Nike who make nothing here but profit, or the big tech and communications companies that outsource thousands of jobs to India, or Walmart which costs the nation money as they become billionaires and their employees become modern wage slaves, stop supporting these companies and they will change. And without regulatory structure and personnel, government can't manage the corruption of modern business, but no one wants to support that aspect of the modern world either. So in the end the enemy is within as it often or always is, and that is where it fails.
The massive expansion of government going back to at least LBJ has certainly created a paradise:All the thinking in this thread is with the assumption that the US government will just keep shoveling out unemployment from now till the end of time.
Reality is the socailist state is coming to an end, we cant afford it. Its time to remove the market manipulation on wages and let market values go where they must. Its better to have a job and make a little, then to not work, and not eat.
No, if it comes to that, the nation will sink into a Second Great Depression, one worse than the first. We either create jobs, or we perish.
