Clear evidence why we spend too much

Have to agree with Al, all that junk created jobs.

Then I have to agree with Jerry Brown, we don’t need jobs. We need things. Like food, housing, clothes, medical care, etc. And, we need more welfare, not less. Why are we forcing people to find jobs to produce “all that junk” that we don’t need?

Now, two incomes are almost a necessity*, to build and fill those walk in closets. In the good old days that many of us recall, most wives were out of the paid workforce. Were we better off? We were less wasteful, for the most part. And by wasteful, I mean natural resources, materials, energy, etc., that our children may regret in the future.

If people are un/underemployed, why not increase welfare to allow them to survive (comfortably)? Instead of forcing them to waste resources to find a job producing “all that junk”.

My sister and her husband, over the years made millions (a few, not mega) by NOT planting crops on some of their land. Why not pay more people enough to stay home and not waste resources filling up closets?

My car is in my garage (HOA rules) and we don’t have a walk in. We just downsized and took truckloads to the dump, and more truckloads to Salvation Army. Then I gave the truck to my grandson.

*for us average income folks.
