I remember that a’hole Summers, Roger Altman, Robert Rubin etc from ’92 to ’00’s “strong dollar policy” killed millions of jobs, NOT a high minimum wage. Strong dollar killed Gold too, down to $250/oz, Remember? Silver $4. Steel? Practically free, 20 cents/lb retail.
Globalization and phony environmental hype, along with regulations killed jobs too. Lets not forget all woman that entered the WORKFORCE after 1975, and diluted the VALUE of labor. One salary was enough, then after a while TWO salaries were needed.
UNLESS you are employed by tax payers.
