I don't mean to rain on your populist parade, but the American working class will not recover from this recession precisely because their standard of living is still above that of the average world laborer.
Which is why the average world labourer has to have their standard of living lifted.
The tried and true method to do that is via free markets.
Just sayin'.
Yep so we can expect dropping wages and low employment for around the next 20 years?
Until we balance out with the rest of the world?
