Promoted as "it will make products cheaper" and "create new jobs as the automated processes will need people to be skilled to maintain and program the machines" (made elsewhere). Tell that to the numerous "displaced" employees whose jobs were replaced by a robot and 1 "maintainer". American companies are closing and/or offshoring their factories/service positions (lower product costs=bigger profit). Our technological skills (and basic educational levels) are falling far behind. Federal assistance is stretched beyond it's means, and the families paying the taxes are unable to afford basic health/dental care themselves (now VERY MUCH "profit" based businesses/ corporations-hypocritical oath?)
Unemployment is high, people aren't spending money and losing their homes. The candidates promote more government assistance, but NONE are saying they'll bring jobs home or encourage companies to stay here. Where does the money for assistance come from? Taxes. Close the door, increase employment.
