The American Dream is alive and well for most, but the younger generation and less educated do not share such optimism, according to a new poll conducted by NORC – University of Chicago.

In a survey of 2,187 of U.S. residents – regardless of age, race, ethnicity, income, or education – a whopping 75% of respondents said they had achieved or are on their way to obtaining the American Dream, namely economic opportunity and freedom of choice.

Consider backing up a bit further.... did the Banks (i.e., Banksters) create the American Dream?

Homes are built for Banks. People, not so much.

There are a million people trying to hook other people into recurring payments: Revolving credit cards, subscriptions, cell phones, etc. etc. Add in carryout food, Starbucks, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes and you you've shot your wad. The more of all that stuff a person can eliminate, the better off their finances will be.

A better approach would be to stop subsidizing lunacy.

The American dream is to have a worthy president, a truthful Congress and a fair DOJ.

We need more housing built. That means more young workers. It points to Mexicans.

A 7500 sq. ft. lot with an alley out back should start with a small add unit being built first-in the back. Big front yards until the from McMansion gets built. Easy access. all the way. Container units for the back units could go up fast.

I am of the opinion that far too much intervention by state and federal government over the past 50 years has undermined a mostly self-sufficient Republic. Add to that total dis regard to our existing laws and corruption just blossoms. Yes we have no bananas today!
