Well said, Judy!

Thank you, imblest.

Labor force participation is down, wages are stagnant, and even our STEM graduates have difficulty getting jobs in their fields. And we are paying people to colonize us, whom we do not even need.

Even field work, which used to be done by Americans, could once again be done by us, if we would just pay the workers a fair wage - or fair piece work.

We should help others, of course. But it's much less expensive to help them in their own countries. And the mechanism for helping others is called "foreign aid."

American jobs for American workers

Fair trade, not free trade

Correct, but we need to be very cautious about the amount and type of foreign aid that steals dollars from our own stagnant and struggling economy when we have our own millions of homeless and poverty-stricken and an $18 trillion and growing national debt.

The others we need to help are our own citizens at this point. Let Gates, Zuckerberg and Andreesen help the others "over there" using their own money to do so.
