We have to teach people financial literacy. We don't have it in our schools now, and most people, along with not having funds, do not even know how to plan for their own retirement.

Most of the population is trying to put food on the table and a roof over their heads - talking about planning for retirement is absurd when they can't plan for the next six months. Living wages, affordable health & child care are required. Can't plan with what you haven't got.

Re-read my comment...it stated that. Also, in primary school and high school is when you *should* be learning this stuff.

That includes the ability to pay for child care ages 0-5

For profit colleges are driving this crisis. There needs to be transparency, oversight and consequences from the predators who run these schools.https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2015/09/the-failure-of-for-profit-colleges/405301/ …

Can we institute a

Get that money back from these companies with the tax code,Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It is quite obvious from your tweet that like Obama, who never had a GDP above 1.8%, you know nothing about improving economy-just spending

ANOTHER "GEM FROM THE BIG TOBACCO QUEEN. Politicians can't fix the economy. Politicians like Kirsten Gillibrand need to stop interfering with business creation via THEIR social engineering projects. Drain the swamp of Kirsten Giilibrand and others like her.

Thoughts on a
#UniversalBasicIncome ? If every adult received, say $10-12k/year, they may be more willing to take risks since they don't have to worry about the bare minimums. They could more easily afford to go to college or start a business. Risk taking can be good for economy. -
Where will this money come from?

Cut funding 4 many programs (like food stamps, maybe Medicaid, and gasp, the military) since this lowers need 4 them; get rid of the standard deduction to raise revenue. This amount is still low (at ~ Fed. Poverty line 4 single adult) So it doesn’t take away incentives to work.
