[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an economist

Government has screwed up by putting in affordable housing minimum wage etc.  All these artifical floors that keep lower class people dependent and screw over the middle class

Now before you call me heartless here is what should happen

1.  You get rid of affordable housing and the minimum wage
2.  You let the market work..... wages and housing will adjust based on supply and demand.

DC is screwed up because of 1.  If you were able to get rid of that you would have 2 where wages would actaully increase or real estate would decrease to an equlibrium point to allow for service workers to have a reasonable wage, reasonable housing and reasonable healthcare.  It's all supply and demand.  People will only take jobs if they can afford to live in an area.  If noone takes the job then you either increase wages or automate

Again there are plenty of other places across the country with lower cost of living

P.S. the third thing you have to do is reform immigration.  All the wages being paid under the table is screwing the system as well.  Yes illegal immigration totally hurts the law abiding lower class.[/quote]

The first time I ever agreed with an economist, particularly on point 3.  Germany allows the immigrants because they need the labor supply.  We do not.  I work in the housing industry and everyday I see the undercutting of pay by illegal immigrants.  It is interesting that the legal immigrants I work with are voting for Trump.  They see him as lessening the competition for their jobs and increasing their pay.  Maybe this will also mean that Americans  will stop by too big houses and too much junk to stuff into their houses.   They will have to use their money more wisely than on impulse shopping of junk and food to make themselves feel better.  [/quote]
Same here. I'm in early childhood education, newborn to kindergarten.[/quote]
