An excellent column, Star, as usual. Thank you.
Thank You Star!! Some common sense
Star, You seem to believe that economic growth represented by a percentage is a percentage that becomes equally distributed. You should know better because the economic growth of the past was, as is easily identified, NOT equally distributed.
I appreciate your biased position as, most likely, one who benefited from that economic growth; however, you might realize that a smaller economic growth more evenly distributed to bolster lower and middle class Americans is an investment in the future when the economic growth of the past, which you so proudly espouse as representative of a wise economic policy, has truly done nothing more than exacerbate inequalities within our economic policy.
Here in 2025, this article didn’t age well. I went looking for the Recent Forefront article Star published, and ran across this.
I suspect her “Shut down the department of Education ASAP” article is going to age just as well.
