Speaker Ryan wants you womens to start having more of Teh Babies!
Im riffing here, the speaker admitted, before listing three bullet points of things were trying to do right now to get this economy humming to reach its potential: Fixing the regulatory problem, passing Republicans bill to slash taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and people.
People, Ryan said bluntly. This is going to be the new economic challenge for America. People. Baby boomers are retiring. I did my part, but, you know, we need to have higher birth rates in this country, meaning, baby boomers are retiring and we have fewer people following them in the work force.
We have something like a 90 percent increase in the retirement population in America, but only a 19 percent increase in the working population in America, he continued. So what do we have to do? Be smarter, more efficient, more technology? Still going to need more people. And when we have tens of millions of people right here in this country falling short of their potential, not working, not looking for a job, or not in school getting a skill to get a job, thats a problem.

People do not need fancy hospitals.

(12,659 posts)Hospitals are needed more often than not.
Maternal mortality is on the rise, and in some areas is close to depression era levels, when doctors were scarce and most people had babies at home.
On second look, I'm reading your post as "Talking like the GOP".

(4,268 posts)Not the best choice of words from this idiot but we do have an aging population and the younger generations are not having a lot of kids nowadays - average of less than two I believe.

That new economic challenge for Americans amounts to having 13 people under one roof and only 4 of them having any type of employment and no government programs to help.
Oh,hell yes. He should be made to actually work instead of kneeling before the koch god of his dreams.

(14,155 posts).... extremely bleak viable job prospects after they get out of school, minimum wages so far behind the cost of living, regular wages stagnant for the last three decades, productivity up, corporate profits up, - but not shared with workers - housing costs (rentals) often above 50% of total income, young people have to start families later and later in life.
How does Speaker Ryan not see we are stuck in no man's land with Republican governmental policies. America is going backwards not forwards but they keep shoveling all the money to the top 1% in the hopes it will trickle down and stimulate the entire economic system - as if.
It has not happened with Republican policies, it will not happen. The only result that has materialized is the rich are getting filthy filthy rich, the middle class is rapidly disappearing while being stressed by stagnant wages and higher costs, the lower classes are growing as the middle class is slipping down the rungs of the ladder.
America is rapidly becoming a third world country. If we could accelerate global warming by increasing the temperature more rapidly..... maybe we could become a genuine Banana Republic where political coups and military juntas happen a couple of times each month.
Team Trump divert attention heaven.
Disaster Capitalism were the 1% is free to privatize, rape, plunder, and pilfer, the national treasure to enrich the select and chosen few. While everyone else struggles and habitually fails to make financial ends meet - losing more and more ground as time goes on.
If there is insufficient income coming in the door to cover costs the only recourse of action is to lower the standards of living and lower your prospects to survive.
This is not rocket science. Young people are being forced to postpone there adult lives. Stuck in a limbo of no man's land - they can't afford transportation, they can't afford to start a family, they can't afford the cost of housing and the start up cost for a new home. Republican economic policies are strangling and suffocating not just the economy but the ability of our population to make ends meet, cover day to day costs, and establish stable and loving families.
The rich are being allowed to and encouraged to suck the very life blood out of our society to feed their endless, rampant, insatiable, and entirely selfish gluttony.
Will they stop before they cause the total collapse of the social well-being of this government and it's people ?
The rich and the Republicans are leading us off this cliff and by design this is where we are headed. The destination being charted out does not look very pleasant - but much needless strife and turmoil lies just ahead of us - we are so capable of much better than this if we just put hate and greed to rest.
