Still waiting for your solution for economic stability and wages that keep up with inflation (including a definition of what you consider "economic stability" to be, as well as your criteria for measuring wages in relation to inflation across the economic spectrum and the US geography). But you know, details.
I’m not a details guy. I’m the big picture guy and The Decider. I’ll leave the details up to you pencil pushers. Then I’ll make my decisions.
Measure wages historically and compared to other OECD countries. Measure hyperinflation in key areas like healthcare, education, and rent. Focus on preventing bubbles like we’ve seen in the housing market and now Ed loan industry.
Force Congress critters to recuse themselves from votes on legislation that effects companies they’re invested in. (For starters)
Increase competition through antitrust enforcement and caps on government contracting.
Enable a strong federal auditing department. (GAO but not just reports, DOJ increased focus on corruption, etc). Various WA state auditing agencies (State auditors office, Dep of Revenue, Dept of L&I) are taken seriously by both private businesses and local governments. Actual enforcement, fines, and prosecution. Jail a few CEO’s and elected officials.
Your turn. Give me details. Or are we perfect with no need to change or adapt?
