In 2020-21, Washington thought it could solve the nation's problems through money printing, but it created greater problems than the original problems.

The country has been “fundamentally transformed”.

And AI is going to make it much worse, real soon.

‘Living Comfortably’ is VERY subjective. Americans are spoiled children compared to the rest of the world.

But, Let’s Go, Brandon! *SMIRK*

We need MORE of this reporting about the cost of living in Swing States between now and November. MAGA! ;)

Bidetnomics.

They can thank themselves ... for Gov Shapiro.

Culturally, moving back in with your parents in your mid-forties has never been part of the American Dream.

That gave me a chuckle.

My jury is out on Shapiro.

$pendell and Tommie (”the Commie”) Wolf....guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

We are poor....we went from solid middle class to being poor...

[Jane Long]

Wolf ... that’s the commie I was trying to think of.

Hopefully, things can be fixed, with a YUGE dose of MAGA.

50% (post tax I presume) spent on housing? that seems obscene

[Jane Long]

In how much time?

I’m sorry to hear this, but, you are not alone, by how this article reads.

God bless.

So a PA family is supposed to spend $69,139 a year on dining out and other non necessary expenses?

[lightman]

The Amish gave that boost in 2016.

Lancaster County put DJT om the White House.

Never forget!

“50% (post tax I presume) spent on housing? that seems obscene”

Housing and necessities includes food clothing medicine, etc.

With the price of housing and food alone, few people can do it with just 50% of their income with the way things are since Brandon and friends screwed the country.

[Tired of Taxes]

the “50/30/20 Rule,” which holds that half of a household’s income should be spent on housing and necessities, a third on nonessentials like eating out and entertainment, and the rest on savings and debt.

I've been living on the 98/2/0 Rule for years now.

Except to illegal alien invaders. The Far Left RATS are giving the Special Free Limited Edition “American Dream” to the foreign freeloading invaders and making the taxpayers pay for it.
