See the UNICEF chart. Questionable whether the United States can even be counted as a “developed country.”
The ONLY way out of this dilemma is to embrace policies and programs that in the long-run will put us on a path to prosperity, opportunity, and economic justice through results that broaden private, individual ownership of future productive capital assets to be “created and employed” by our business corporations in the production of real wealth –– consumable products and services. The result will be to strengthen individuals and empower ALL Americans to acquire over time viable income-producing productive capital assets paid for out of the future earnings (future savings) of the investments. This will result in less government responsibility for the health and prosperity of the economy through coerced trickle-down; in other words, through redistribution achieved by the rigging of labor prices, by taxation and debt borrowing to support redistribution and job “creation,” or subsidization by inflation and by all kinds of welfare, open and concealed.
If we do not adopt this GOAL, then catastrophe will be an ever present danger until an imminent system collapse is upon us.
