Americans have been using debt to finance a 1980s standard of living for decades now, trying to counter the decline in our standard of living wrought by globalization. Until you see more Americans having families, buying homes, and retiring at 65, there is no reason to doubt they are struggling financially. While the new jobs created by Trump may be better than the McJobs under his predecessor, they aren’t good enough to restore most workers’ confidence in long-term stability.
Ignoring this issue would be disastrous for those who oppose socialist Democrats; they easily convince voters that they’ve been given a raw deal. As long as we traffick foreigners here to fill middle class jobs, many Americans have dim hopes for the future.
“mericans have been using debt to finance a 1980s standard of living”
This goes way before the 1980’s. Don’t believe the liberal anti-Reagan nonsense that the 1980’s was the decade of greed. This started right after WWII in 1945 under Truman the democrat.
