Simple math... perhaps not his strong suit?
It's not as simple as basic math. There are problems with the age demographics of our country. We need more young people, If we don't bring young people in, the economy will not be able to support the massive number of old people who are about to or have just retired.
We're struggling to staff the businesses and services we have today.
Then why are wages so low?
Because capital is greedy? The economy is growing every year, productivity is growing every year. The fact that wages are not says bad things about employers, not the workers.
