blame the cheap labor express... endless flow of illegals and H1Bs drive down salaries and wages.
And, at least as important (but oddly never mentioned)... Illegal aliens, one highly suspects, own the housing cost spiral.
They are, one suspects, responsible for driving down availability of housing supply, and they are thus responsible for increasing the demand and ergo the cost.
Illegal aliens. (They are also taking up valuable spaces in public schools; and, they are in front of you and your family in line at the emergency room at your local hospital.)
Oh, and they vote (Dem).
