Economy (draft)

• Need equal trade, so imports are limited but exports not affected

• Maybe require all goods sold be made according to US people/planet protections

• Fix health care, make it not a per-employee cost and provide a healthy workforce

• Stop preventing employees from negotiating their pay (value)

• Business' goal is to make money, not create jobs

• Better to have high demand than low costs; demand is what results in jobs

• Need to solve fundamental, long-term problems; stimulus injects money/demand

• Boosting payments to low-income the best as they'll actually spend it

• Businesses should profit from good service, not fees and overly favorable laws

• Higher minimum wages, even for students, mean more demand, college savings
