Our country needs a cultural shift away from “me first, I’ve got mine” thinking toward more ethical, inclusive attitudes.
The Washington Monument is seen with a cloudy sky above in Washington, Friday, June 9, 2023.
There are no scholarly economic studies or models here. Hopefully, just a bit of common sense. We cannot have a productive and globally competitive workforce without healthy workers. Certainly, universal health care would cost money. Eliminating profiteering in our health care industry would defray a substantial part of this cost.
I think we need to be honest with ourselves and acknowledge that greed has dominated the arc of human existence since its very beginning. It won’t go away. But perhaps we can learn how to deal with it in a more creative way. The very rich will always fight to retain their wealth, and in many cases, rightfully so. But rather than work against them, perhaps we can enlist their aid to help grow the economy from the middle, as President Biden describes.
I’m certainly no economist, but I believe the emergence of green energy, artificial intelligence and other technology to deal with climate change and other environmental issues will actually increase the number of jobs; but only if our population is educated for those jobs. And the final result: A strong middle class that harnesses the talents and energies of more Americans.
