      They always talk about “creating” wealth and “making the pie bigger.” Well, it’s time for them to do that instead of squeezing everyone more.

    This leaves an obvious opening for the next Democratic challenger. And the Republican candidate too, if they’re got the guts to go anti-MAGA.

    As the article quite correctly points out, Trump got elected because Dems patted themselves on the back while the man on the street was hurting, and Trump said ‘I see you, we’ll bring your job back’.

    Now the tables have turned. So in 2028 whichever candidate most says ‘I see you’, they’ll win.

    Donald Trump and the Republicans are insisting the economy is great and unhappy Americans are deluded. Just like Democrats under Joe Biden, they’re lying to themselves and everyone else — and will eventually pay the price.

    Not until the rest of us have paid way more than they EVER will.

    We live in a company town now. Every cent that comes in goes right back out. No savings. No retirement. Our paychecks are picked apart by fees, middlemen, subscriptions to things we used to own, corporations forcing us into choose to pay for everything or figuratively live in a cave disconnected from society. CoL and inflation increases that pay never keeps up with, working more hours, harder, with less people, for stagnant pay, and never getting a break or vacation.

    Broke doesn’t mean living in a box under a bridge. You can still have the trappings of modern life, but be a complete slave to the grind with no end in sight.
