hard. its wealth fell 28% in the last decade. why? changes that were taking place in china. some emerging markets like china. china needs the united states. mostly by keeping its currency low, china can sell products for less than they re worth, making it hard for american companies to compete. that means fewer jobs and lower wages here in the u.s. we need a smart trade policy that protects american workers without hurting american businesses. america needs a 21st century workforce. that comes through education. to keep our place at the top, we need science, engineering and math skills taught earlier and with more efficiency. these four things, the fiscal cliff, jobs, china, education, they could define president obama s legacy and maybe immigration reform too. let s start at the top of that list. the most pressing issue, the fiscal cliff. you ve seen the big picture, potentially the larges tax increase in history. here s what you will feel. your household tax bill wi
