Before solving a problem, one must know what the problem is

"We are not doing well in the world of education," Trump says, as he guts the Department of Education.

That is one example out of hundreds, or thousands, of Trump pointing out a result of our long economic decline, and treating that result as a problem to be solved by reduction -- by reducing the size and cost of the department or shutting it down altogether -- when what we need is to turn the economy around.

Democrats, however, don't see it correctly either, so there is little or no chance that the root problem will be solved.

Superintelligent robots should understand the problem, though! Maybe there's a chance...

Though, it does seem somewhat likely that nobody will listen to them, and they will just get frustrated and start blogging into the wind or something.
