Wages are part of the problem.
The idiots in Congress and State Legislatures all across the nation, raised minimum wage to $15, calling it a ‘Living Wage’.
Did they not realize that prices everywhere would go up accordingly, and put people right back on the bottom again? Of course they did. They knew their idiot voters would fall for the scam with dreams of more money.
Yes, they got more money, but it’s now worth less that it was before the wage increases.
There are signs all over town at fast food and other stores advertising Help Wanted $15 per hour to START. People are not applying.
The Congress, both parties, are actually INFLATING THEIR WAY OUT OF DEBT, at the risk of angering China and all the other Bond holders of T-Bills.
They have done this many times. Spend like drunken sailors, create mountains of debt, then cause massive inflation to pay off that debt with inflated dollars.........Rinse, Lather, Repeat.............
If you have a Political Party whose BASE is Poor, Disaffected, Dependent People, YOU WILL MAKE DAMN SURE YOU NEVER RUN OUT OF POOR, DISAFFECTED, DEPENDENT PEOPLE...............
