Wages have not kept up with productivity and GDP increases since the 1970s.
How about making single income middle class families possible again, so you can have one stay at home parent.
Ironically, thats the exact idea behind the whole trade war thing. It has lead to TSMC already accelerating their plans to expand the Arizona microchip fabrication lab, which means... Factory jobs, the thing we used to have in the 70's.
That's not going to solve anything because it's going to make products more expensive, which is the 'exact idea.'
Enrich American oligarchs instead of those abroad that might be giving us a better deal.
