It won't and people will be poorer. To poor to buy anything. Which means less demand, which means less imports which means more layoffs.
Which means more poor people.

KantoQuest, I work as a traveling consultant and been to many very large hospitals in my travels and assignments.
But I am misinformed am I? Is that so? Perhaps the various Internet forums nurses frequent are also misinformed? Perhaps they are.

Sakurasaki, I would like to clarify that while some U.S. nurses can make money, most do not, and home caregivers in the U.S. are not nurse and are as poorly paid as their Japanese counterparts.
America is suffering the same problem for the same reasons.

Posted in: Trump's bluntness powered a White House comeback. Now his words are getting him in trouble in court See in context
It's stunning how many posters here do not understand that there are three branches of U.S. government and each of them are EQUAL.
Congress, President and Supreme Court, are ALL equal and they all must follow the Constitution and NOTHING else.
The powers of each are spelled out, in that very Constitution, so that even a grade schooler can understand who has authority to do what.
The president CANNOT rule by decree. The Supreme Court CAN overrule him and Congress ANY day of the week. Congress can pass laws that overrule the Supreme Court rulings that are not Constitutional.

Ah, the Gilded Age. And the British version, the Edwardian Era. Where the aristocracy, either titled or monied, led the world to its first all encompassing war.
And, not learning the lesson of that war, proceeded to give us the Great Depression and then WWII.
Good times. Not.
