I'm with you and Fritz. My children are successful young adults and know the value of a dollar. I have been very silly on this post because I do not think the sky is falling.

Logging out. Later

The author states that low-wage employees have been testing the American doctrine that hard work cures poverty.

Hard work when misdirected doesn't cure anything. Many times people with a good work ethic put a lot of effort into pursuing directions that will never pay off for them, or they just honestly don't know how to be successful. A good grounding in the fundamentals of personal financial management is essential...but no one is ever going to get that from a government school.

Actually I do see much, much harder times ahead unless we stop illegal immigration. Getting rid of the illegals in America would be a step I'd take also.
