Any bets if the so-called $130,000 costs of the "American Dream" came out during a GOP Administration Ms. Goff would write her drivel or she would be screaming about how said GOP POTUS has ruined the American Dream for future generations.

So she is happy to replace the American Dream with New Soviet Man. Hate to tell her but New Soviet Man was a drunken wife beater who didn’t give a damn about his job or much anything else because he knew he was just a piece of meat; an ant in an anthill, and just as disposable.

The “Progressives” celebrate the new normal.

Reminds me of the joke when death grants on last wish to an American, a Frenchman, and a Russian. The Russian’s wish was to burn down his neighbors house. Always with envy as their main motivation. Better to rule in hell than to serve in heaven.

$130k GROSS is about $80K NET after all taxes...

Wages stagnate for middle America for 15 years now....While the price of everything nearly doubled..

Thousands of jobs sent to Communist countries...Private sector wages reduced, hours cut, part time jobs if your lucky, retirements slashed or eliminated, heath care controlled by reckless lawless corrupt government...

On and on...

Sadly. This is the opinion of a great many people who reside here. I can’t say Americans because they don’t seem interested in the freedom and possibility that has been the fabric of America until now.

We now just have residents. No understanding of how great we had it nor any desire to expand the benefits of freedom and prosperity.

I lived the American Dream and now I’m going to live the American Retirement! And I don’t need $130,000 to do it.

—Adults living alone are currently one of the fastest growing demographics in America. Nearly a third of households now consist of one person, and the number of Americans living alone has doubled in the last fifty years.—

I’m sure our ultra high divorce rate is behind that, plus all the runaway “fathers” in some “cultures” in America.

Most of the people in Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, etc wish the American dream was still alive. Why can’t we have the way it was? Why do we have to live under the government the commies want?

[Buckeye McFrog]

Typically arrogant of these Leftists to think they can define what anybody else’s dream is for them.

The left destroys your future and then tells you why its good for you...

Liberty and independence is a foreign concept to these people. It all about making you a cog in their machine for the “greater good”.

[freerepublicchat]

She actually makes some good points -- the American Dream isn't about stuff, though the progressives try to solve every problem with more taxpayer provided stuff.

It's the conservatives that know there's more to life, that social problems aren't simply economic problems that need more government spending to solve.

It’s now the World’s dream, as every basket case country in the world is sending their poor here.

This author doesn’t understand the concept of ‘The American Dream’ and, like all liberals, defines it HIS way only.

I truly hate liberals and wish they’d all die.

USA Today calculated that subsidizing the American Dream costs approximately $130,000 annually, meaning the dream is only within reach for about 1 in 8 American families.

If it involves a subsidy, it ain't the American Dream.
