If they feel “left behind” it is because of rat propagandists like the ones at CNBC.

Ya, this is nothing more than the LSM telling people how they want them to feel.

Another case of the Left looking for ways to ‘brand’ their next campaign to put Republicans on defense.

That’s crazy denial of reality. The problem isn’t so much the economy of 2025, but that we are all still suffering the consequences of the high inflation Biden years. People are literally poorer because of that (inflation much higher than wage growth for those years). It will take more time and growth to get back to where we were. Until then, we are worse off.

We, and Trump, need to acknowledge that. To deny it is suicidal, because people know they are worse off, but they may not understand why.

And it begins😂😂😂😂

Now the media is seeing the writing on the wall.

The rush to mitigate a strong economy is on.

The main reason folks “feel” poor is because they do not have strong budgetary discipline, self control or personal accountability and survive on credit. Their mistakes are always someone elses predatory practices.

I’m old and on S.S., but not in debt. My economy is not booming, but I do have checking accounts for paying the bills. I see the problem as ever-increasing prices & many on products that I would consider as being previously over-priced. Inflation may be lower than it was, but still continues on just about everything. It seems to come down to gov’t. spending, some of which must come down as “completely unnecessary”. Inflation needs to come to a standstill & that seems to be where the real problem lies. If it were so, maybe consumers could catch up. What does it take to produce zero inflation ,even for a short time?
