This is the group that makes up the 50% of the current U.S. population that doesn’t pay any taxes.

Mark Twain called his latter years the Gilded Age because the top of American society had a coating of great wealth.

There is a circa 1973 Columbo episode where a guy says his room in LA costs $73/month.

I wonder if they will wake up and vote for a good economy rather than taxpayer funded dependency.

My income has never been within the limits that folks would consider middle class. It's always been below that, and as such most folks consider me to be living in poverty. I think I am blessed to have that happened because it meant I never hoarded things, or sought after earthly gain I could never afford.

That being said, what is happening across the country is a crime. Costs are so high that folks are literally having to choose between food or shelter. I know other folks who, seeing what is happening, are foregoing the luxuries of life, scaling down, and just being content with existing on the bare minimum. The economic conditions are also causing folks to have to start "shacking up" together in order to survive.

I do not believe that if Trump wins the election that anything will change overnight, or ever. OBiden, Soros and his lackeys have so badly sabotaged the economy that there may be no coming back from this nightmare.

The working poor is who I really feel for as these are the clerks, secretaries, front desk, cashiers, warehousemen, etc...the ordinary people that make everything go. These are people that are not white collar and not Mike Rowe’s Blue Collar workers, but the flux that keeps the machine going...

Dormitories, Tiny Homes, whatever it takes....those are for the working poor—the homeless drunkards, druggies and mentals need to be in tent city out in the Mojave. Those that want to be SAVED move up to the tiny homes....and re-integrate back into society. The others....keep them safe as all we can do.

This country is worth saving, but to do so, some real innovative solutions for American Citizens First. Green Card holders second and the illegals back out the door. DACA Kids? If born at a certain date—give them a Green Card...hell most all came as kiddies through no fault of their own. They are defacto Americans after this amount of time.

In Wisconsin Biden read a speech about how the economy is great and getting better.
((Only we the people don’t believe that.))

CNN said on website today:
“As Biden leans into the unfinished business of his 2020 campaign — and urges voters to let him “finish the job” in 2024 — multiple outside advisers and donors have expressed worry the president is tacking too far to the left. The concern: A platform containing costly proposals like universal preschool, subsidized child and senior care, and expanded health care cater less to moderates than to the party’s base.

“One-eighth of one percent of the population is going to decide this election,” one longtime Biden donor tells CNN, requesting anonymity to share confidential conversations with the campaign. “I’ve told them to move more toward the middle.”

Boarding houses used to be common, real common, room and board and usually great food cooked by little old ladies.

I even aspired to own one when I was young as a way to pay the mortgage and have a place to live myself, but I think rules and regulations killed them off.

Look at the old movies and how convenient and simple they were, you breezed into a city with your suitcase and while you were looking for work you rented a room from some old lady who cooked for you and the other tenants and would probably do your clothes for a fee.

If you want more of something, subsidize it.

If you want less of something, tax it.

“Gen-Zers Slide Deeper Into Debt As Bidenomics Failure Crushes America’s Future Leaders “

https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/gen-zers-slides-deeper-debt-bidenomics-failure-crushes-americas-future-leaders

“It may seem crazy, but here’s some advice for heavily indebted Gen-Zers:

Put down the smartphone.
Stop spending on DoorDash and Uber Eats.
Perhaps cancel a few streaming services.
Also, the spending party is over despite calls from the White House to cancel student debt.

The rising debt load Gen-Zers are carrying is alarming. The average credit-card balance for 22- to 24-year-olds was $2,834 in 1Q23, compared with an average inflation-adjusted balance of $2,248 in the same period in 2013, according to Wall Street Journal, citing new data from credit-reporting agency TransUnion.

The youngest generation is coming to age during a time when Bidenomics has been a complete failure, and these kids are spending themselves in financial ruin. “

lower class Americans have been pushed out onto the fringes of society thanks to the free Traitors and open border neoCON scum that traded in Christianity for “diversity” as the national religion. Pushed out by immigrants, legal and illegal taking all the resources and jobs.

What did we think would happen when we offshored our jobs? So much for those benefits to the consumers we were promised by the free traitors.
