Here are 10 economic facts that must be addressed to save the U.S. economy:
-

-
Wall Street/CEOs greed;
-
The “too big to fail banks” are getting bigger;
-
Students are crippled with debt;
-
We lead the developed world in child poverty;
-
You can’t live on the minimum wage;
-
The tax system favors the rich;
-
The rich buy the political system;
-
The “American Dream” is fading away;
