Editorial
Economic Wellbeing
Recent
economic history helps figure out
what workers can expect
concerning future their economic wellbeing.
New Normal #1 was the high profits and
wages made possible by WW 2 generated savings and pent-up consumer demand
plus a lack of meaningful foreign competition. Its demise began in 1973 as
business faced added pressure created by OPEC oil embargos soon to be
enhanced by increased Asian competition. This New Normal #2
required workers and owners to compete with payroll taxes for a share of
company revenue. The results were stagnating wages as measures by Census
Bureau CPI measured median household income and the Rust Belt. Concurrently
philosophical changes were causing New Normal #3 as the U.S.
returned to lax conservative business regulations which helped consumers
continued their American Dream with increased credit card debt and home
improvement loans later called home equity loans. Soon the 1987 Federal
Savings and Loan 160 billion dollar bailout continued A Long Existing
Normal that began when the Panic of 1792 caused a federal bailout of
states over-burdened by their Revolutionary War Deb. Recently some feel the
Census Bureau poverty rate being stuck at 15 percent is New Normal # 5
though using Federal Reserve recommended adjustments plus adding noncash
safety net transfer lowers the rate to five percent. Another Long
Existing Normal is continuing business success as US Companies competed
very well in a flat world using technology, outsourcing to Asia, Mexico...and
by keeping wage increases low. Another Long Existing Normal is
Continued Increased Citizen Wellbeing caused by a stable society which
allowed almost continuous economic growth and provided a large though poorly
accounted for public safety net. Also providing wellbeing is scientific which
has cured diseases, created smart phones, streaming audio-video, Gillette
Stadium ... Finally personal Income increased continuously if not always
rapidly because nature and nurture improved the personal characteristics
needed to enhance wellbeing. Comments to
