The working poor: class reaction (for thursday 3/21/2013)

A better way to help the working poor is to change government policies. The main reason why American economy has not had a very steady growth over the past decade since 9/11/2001 is the fact that the government has so many engagement on foreign affairs than domestic affairs. The two wars in Iraq and Afghanistan costs alot of money, the money that would actually be used to fund more projects that would create more jobs for people. However, the question about national security cannot be ignored, without security the economy cannot operate at its best. I would suggest the government should engage itself in reasonable wars but the bigger focus should be on domestic affairs, to improve the lives of citizens at home and the economy at large. But like i always say, patience is the key to everything, its gonna take time but we will get there, our unemployement rate is at historically lowest compared to 12 years ago, and i have more faith that there is more good to come ahead.
