This came from a new Wall Street Journal poll of over 1,500 American adults that was absolutely loaded with critical findings, including:

71% of Americans are concerned they won’t share in the benefits of economic growth,

74% are concerned their wages won’t keep up with prices,

68% are concerned about the cost of housing,

75% are concerned over the cost of health care and prescriptions, and

78% of Americans are not confident that life in our children’s generation will be better than it has been for us.

1. But too many of them think it's the fault of Democrats & liberals in general.

2. You would think that would be bad for the party in charge

But their propaganda arm is so strong that they can convince a large portion of the population that the other party is worse.

This is also why they focus on random other issues like trans rights, Cracker Barrel, crime and immigration. Nothing like hating someone else to get you feeling good about yourself.

3. Doesn't matter what citizens think when we have rigged elections.

6. It means people are cornered and increasingly understand the economy

Cornered in the sense of their own personal debt limits. Now they must squeeze. Collectively that can hurt big companies. Choose between phone, Netflix, Cable, food, and energy.
