I keep reading between the lines that the fiscal policies are incentivising and prioritising innovation and higher education and knowledge work, and getting rid of manual labor by automation or outsourcing. Seems like a good thing, the way she is phrasing it is like a conspiracy by the "elite" that just decided to sabotage a prosperous large working class for no particular reason. Technological advancement must play a big part in this.
You are reading incorrectly. Her argument is that the fiscal policies are disincentivizing all labor, which indirectly incentivizes industries that have less dependency on labor, whether skilled or unskilled. She also does not phrase it as a conspiracy to sabotage the working class for no reason, she claims that this is a side effect of maintaining USD as the global reserve currency, a system which benefits some people and afflicts others.
