He could have saved, 14,400 by Executive Orders, stopping Corporations from laying off workers, if the Corporation did business with the US government. He broke his promises to Americans by catering to Lobbyists! “We the People “ got empty promises.

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce At least 10% of all workers have more than one job to earn a living. 28% of the work force may hold multiple jobs. Having 1 job is preferable, if an individual is well paid. However, in our current State of Inequality, having one job is not sufficient earnings. A new metric will help define our Labor force. However, Income Inequality is not sustainable for Americans. The USA is the most unequal of similar Nations.

Otherwise, there is no cocoa supply!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce Finally, there is a proposal to change the GDP metrics to reflect everyone’s status & contribution to gross domestic product via distributed metrics. Than we’ll see who benefits from Society and who doesn’t in real time data. We’ll know why our happiness quotient is way down for the Middle Class! We know, our GDP doesn’t reflect our State of Inequality!

AmericaSpeaks TheVoiceOfJoyce A “not funny” Maureen Dowd nails the cluelessness of our Presidents & Foreign Policy.
