9. No demand...no jobs
Once we are in the vortex, it's hard to get out.

big-biddness is making plenty of money with their skeleton-crews and are sitting on piles of cash.

They can fire at will and replace almost anyone with a cheaper worker, so they have everyone just where they want them.

They move their money around the game-board, maximizing their own profits, and could not care less about the people without jobs..

"Small" businesses cannot end the misery, because small business (real small businesses) cannot hire all that many people, or many people at family-supporting wages.benefits.

We've grown accustomed to bubble-economics, and every emergence from the popped-bubble of the moment leaves more people in the ditch...people who will never again work for wages they had before, and need to have in order to keep buying stuff..

we are ratcheting down with every popped bubble

Until we get serious about Nafta/cafta/shafta & the sweet deals with China, we will always be on the losing side (as a society).
