Comment on John McCain’s Economic Plan

Our economy is suffering from the government's determination to entrench debt as an inherent quality of the American Dream.

The personal savings rate of this country is now negative; a culmination of a long-term decline in the savings rate from a post WWII level of 24%.

Americans are constantly encouraged to take more debt; whether it be to take advantage of artificially low credit levels propagated by the Federal Reserve, legislation and support from both parties that every American should own their own home, no matter if they can actually afford it or not, to the continual drainings of our private sector by all-knowing government leaders.

You say that pay isn't increasing with productivity? Real hourly compensation has increased 22% for workers in the last decade. Productivity of the manufacturing sector, the most prolific advancer of technology, has only increased by 11% in the last 10 years.

We don't need Reaganomics to work. We need to stop filling Americans will economically illiterate propaganda and let real classic economics work, just like it always does.

"A corporate tax brake of 10% will give corporations across the country a significant amount of retained revenues in which they can reinvest within their organization."

The misspelling doesn't help your argument any, but the bigger problem is that our economy isn't suffering from a shortage of retained earnings.

The problem is a shortage of consumer demand: average Americans are deep in debt, in danger of losing their jobs and their pay isn't keeping pace with increase in their productivity.

More Reaganomics won't work.

As far as I am concerned I believe that students need more social protection. How can a student have a health insurance if he doesn't have a job? Of course there are many students that need medical services, and I don't think it's fair to put them to work as long as they are there to learn.
