Mixed Economy

I believe strongly that a mixed, but ultimately largely socialistic, approach is best for our economy because it could help the homeless, public schools, and businesses. People being homeless and not being able to provide for themselves is a very serious, yet extremely common issue in our hometown. Bettering the economy with a mixed approach could create more funding for public issues such as this; being able to provide its less fortunate citizens with shelter, food and clothing.
