That only hurts the consumer, huh? Where did you suidy economics. The Citizen is both the provider and the consumer if things are working right. The provider is the person employed or enjoying his retirement from having worked hard. HOWEVER, since we are being stripped of our work force by shipping manufacturing overseas and less and less employment here in our own country, WHERE are the consumers going to get the money to continue being consumers?
I studied it at Roger Williams College but that was over 30 years. You may want to refer to Chapter XI in “Economics in One Lesson” by Henry Hazlitt. Let me know the book on Economics you wrote and I’ll be happy to read it.
