I don’t have a degree in economics but I could have told people that. People on fixed incomes are more strapped than ever. I know we are. Between the price of gas and food prices, there is little wiggle room. Prices going up , up and up. Oh those republicans sure know how to wreck everything, from morality to toothpaste. Watching democracy being flushed down the toilet is hard to watch and harder to live.
No matter what the cult like 45 Base thinks… They are getting more poor and don’t realize it. They are like frogs in boiling water.
- Forty percent of American adults don't have enough savings to cover a $400 emergency expense such as an unexpected medical bill, car problem or home repair.
- Forty-three percent of households can't afford the basics to live, meaning they aren't earning enough to cover the combined costs of housing, food, child care, health care, transportation and a cellphone, according to the United Way study. Researchers looked at the data by county to adjust for lower costs in some parts of the country.
- More than a quarter of adults skipped necessary medical care last year because they couldn't afford it.
- Twenty-two percent of adults aren't able to pay all of their bills every month.
- Only 38 percent of non-retired Americans think their retirement savings is “on track.”
This should be the talking point of the Democratic party right now. No matter how many times the orange one and the Republicans scream...” All is well”, just look in your wallet and think again people. “It’s the economy stupid”. It is the economy, the corruption, the lies, the abuse, the fascists in power and the apathy.
I say to the people who voted Stein, Trump or stayed home….How is that Trump thing working out for you?
Dozens of American business leaders are challenging the Trump administration over changes to immigration policy that they say threaten the livelihoods of thousands of their skilled foreign workers, and the nation’s economic growth and competitiveness as well.
The executives, members of the Business Roundtable, expressed their “serious concern” over the administration’s immigration moves in a jointly signed letter delivered late Wednesday to Kirstjen Nielsen, the secretary of homeland security.
GET OUT AND VOTE.
