The economy as it exists today doesn't allow for healthy competition. It doesn't give consumers across the spectrum of needs, wants and desires multiple venues of opportunity. There are huge multi-naitonal corporations that 'service' the USA in a cafeteria style consumerism.
I think it goes unsaid that banks have monopolized viable alternatives to any fiscal venue causing limited answers to the economic collapse that resulted from eight years of Conservative indulgence of cronies. It gave life to the expression, "The Bigger thay are the Harder they Fall."
The American public, especially its entrepreneurs, are trapped in death defying acts of Overstock and Black Fridays to survive fiscally within their own lives. Across the board small businesses can't compete with conglomerates with headquarters in foreign lands. The mass produced reality of the American people is as foreign to its landscape as the banks that lend to them.
There needs to be Anti-Trust suits across the board in order to releave the American consumer from 'dirt cheap lifestyles and paychecks' and return the rewards of 'quality' achieved through savings and lifestyle planning. We have to move away from 'unidimension' lifestyles where everyone has the same dish pattern and the same towel design. This isn't the USA, this is the subculture of a global economy seeking 'sameism' and consumer poverty to guarantee their future.
They have to be disbanded while the unemployed find their footing in opportunity presented by open markets.
