14. 'Everyone is struggling!"

Fri Oct 4, 2024, 09:24 AM

Oct 4

I hear this all the time on Social media, and even here on DU. Everyone isn't struggling, less people are struggling now than when Harris and Biden took office. Doesn't mean everything is great and everyone is flourishing, there is still work to do. But people, even here on DU, act like non one was struggling 5 years ago, before Covid. Trump's economy was not good for working people, he was crushing labor, wage growth was at a crawl, and less people were doing well with their retirements.

The US poverty rate right now is lower than it was pre Covid.
