People need to understand that the Reagan growth rate of 4% happened under a nation

with about 20 million people less. You just can't create jobs in an environment of high tech and automation, will the growth of population that we have now. Someone needs to do some explaining to the voters. The only answer is infrastructure jobs but that takes investment from Wall Street and other folks we don't like. But Hillary may have more influence with them than Bernie or Trump.

Reagonomics, trickle down, supply side, whatever you want to call it, it's a sham. And it has a HUGE amount to do, with the increasing inequality in the US.
