APP - If economy is reviving, why are more Americans struggling to afford food?

I did. He claims that there was a free and unfettered market which precipitated all the rest. Nothing could be further from the truth. If he were to suggest that cronie capitalism took a much bigger role than it had then he would be closer to the truth. Free markets favor no one and that obviohsly has not been the case over that period.

A "free market" is a fantasy sold to you by Fox News, and how can you possibly claim "free markets favor no one"? Free markets favor those with enough capital to lose money until their less capitalized competitors go broke. Please, have an independent thought.

Free market means pitting American workers against Asian and Chinese slave labor and we've already learned what that has done to the U.S.

Nope. Try again. The places you mention employ market controls and currency manipulation as do we. You should want that competition on a free market. It would be very good for the US.

We are competing with a world labor market now and losing.
