Since we are still in a Global Economic World Wide Depression I'm wondering what the general consensus is out there regarding:
1) What caused it (primarily)
2) What is your plan to get out of it (includes any laws or programs you would add or repeal)
I'll post my program after I put some finishing touches on it.
1. Automation.
Automation?
Don't tell me you're one of those "Robots will doom the workforce!!!1one!" people are you?
It's more than robots.
Barcode scanners for example
Less than 50 years ago you could raise a family as a clerk. Now they have you doing it yourself.
Automated cars are a decade away. Do you have any idea how many people drive for work?
Just wait . You'll see.
Automation doesn't wreck the economy. Imagine how many scribes were put out of work when the printing press was invented.
Imagine how many harvesters were put out of work when the tractor was invented.
Automation doesn't ruin the economy, it shifts it.
