    Social Security has GOBS of money. Where do you think all the money for all the wars came from?

        Social security has plenty of money and is relatively easy to fix. It's Medicare that is going to be hard.

          Medicare is easy too. Just raise the tax.

            Is that part of our overall problem? How do we solve that (if it is a problem)?

                You're the one who espouses libertarian tendencies. It's kind of rich for you to even ask if all that private spending is bad.

                Surely you're not asking for a larger share of government spending?

                  OK, I did a poor job of asking the question.

                  So much consumer spending is on service based things and not "making stuff" (which tends to be better paying jobs). We've become a service economy, not a manufacturing economy.

                  How can we fix that.

                    We're not going to. As robots make more and more of our stuff (remember, gross manufacturing output is as high as ever in this country, it just takes fewer people to do it) humans will be left with primarily service and entertainment jobs. That's not a bad thing in the aggregate, but it will require a fundamental restructuring of our entire way of thinking about things.

                      I also like how “making things” doesn’t include food in a lot of people’s minds and people who work in that industry are very much underpaid compared to other blue collar jobs generally speaking.

                        And generally speaking, pay and pay rates are related to value added to the end product.
                        If a state-mandated pay rate can't be covered with value added to the product/price, well ... the simpler the better.


                        PS - I didn't know "I'm lovin' it" was dead for "the simple the better" until just now.

                            Exactly, and you can’t tell me making food is somehow less valuable than manufacturing whatever.

                            Also fast food tried automation like 2 decades ago and got rid of t because it was actually less efficient.

                              I thought you said “decade”

                              I was going to say you spelled forty years wrong.

                                Yeah perhaps it was even earlier, definitely in the 90’s.
