7. I think the biggest problem is income inequality.

People don't have any disposable income to buy anything. That stunts the whole economy. Trump's tariffs and deportations are making it worse. There are too many homeless, too many people struggling. The fight against income inequality needs to be global with the powers at be, in effect, pitting one nation against another. Another thing that will make it worse, is the crypto scam. One thing that can be done, is a nationwide mandatory minimum wage. An economic agenda without that, is a tiger with no teeth. It's useless. I listened to Slotkin's speech, and she never even mentioned it.
