1. Wage stagnation and no livable salaries/wages

is the problem and has been for 20 years at least. Too bad all of our money goes to the top 3% and almost half of our taxes goes toward military spending. If we had a lower amount for the military we would all be getting low cost college educations and affordable healthcare and probably have a better quality of life.

2. But aren't the "amazing" tax cuts going to solve

all our problems and give us all so much more money to spend???

6. everybody rushed out and got their Costco memberships

with their tax cuts. Of course, since their gas costs and healthcare costs have spiked, they've lost ground overall.
