Pay hasn't kept up with the cost of living. Health insurance is unaffordable for many.

Not everyone is going to be a millionaire or extremely well off. Have you changed jobs? Got any training? Went back to school? Looked for internal job opportunities? People need to stop blaming “corporate America” for their own lack of ambition or poor career choices.
-
In many places, most of the jobs pay minimum wage. Most of the retired people I meet find insurance eats up most of their money also. Empathy is something you should work on.
-
I understand the insurance for the elderly but define most places. If you are only finding minimum wage jobs, it says a lot about your skill set, ambition and training. That is a you problem not an economy problem. Empathy doesn’t get you a better job, that is your responsibility
-
Most places? almost every job in my small town. As you get older health problems don't help much. I think you are out of touch with the wages of most Americans.

Time to move Ron...if all you can find are part time or minimum wage jobs, it’s a you problem and not a government of corporate America problem. Try wanting something better and the do something about it. Good luck.

I am happy where I live. I thought about moving to a big city. I would have to work like an animal just to pay rent. healthcare costs just need to go down so being able to have insurance isn't just for the wealthy.

Reps say Trump is responsible for the economy being the way it is. Dems say Obama is the reason. Anyone have a nonbiased opinion on who's really responsible? With a post like this, it's likely Dems will blame Trump, and Reps will blame Obama. Gotta love politics. Lol
-
Obama's "capitulation" (let's trade because that's better than not) to china and willingness to sign the over maligned tpp helped a lot. Trump's deregulation helped a lot. Both are responsible. I actually like the tpp still and think it should happen

Basically without our fickle nature neither one could have had this, which is why I praise that

Well said. All of your responses were spot on. :-)

What about the retired people who haven't had a increase in wages! Social Security give us a cost of living raise that is based on cost of food. We need an increase in our monthly payment that is based on wage increase!


-
Ok ...speaking as an "average Joe", that's in the work force ...wages have NOT gone up ... If you watch the news on a regular basis, you would've heard that last week ...lol .. So if SSI is based on wage increase, that's why it hasn't increased ...lol

-
There has been increase in wages over the last 4years! Minimum wages have increased but not SSI...I have been watching the news!
