(71,560 posts)economy particularly in rust belt states. We should be trying to create jobs for our people (Hillary had a plan)..but what does Trump do tax cuts, shitty health that will cost jobs...everything that hurts people, that is what he does. When we get back to power, we need a manufacturing plan and other job programs to help create jobs and maybe there should be a new agency to foster job growth. I have seen grown men weep when they got layoff notices;these folks are people too and have families. The reality is that there is not much of a safety net left and people who can't find work go hungry. I work with a food pantry and more than once we ran out of food and raided our own kitchens ...hubs worked in autos for years...we were management and in many ways, union is still better:more protection...but jobs were lost to gains in productivity and many were sent over seas. And now with retail going under it's going to get much worse. You can't be great country unless you make things...selling hamburgers to each other won't keep the economy going.
