Reply #31: The trick is to actually work

[InkAddict]

a full year at that wage! One can be hired at that figure and only work 7 weeks followed by months to years of frantically hunting for any type of employment that will pay for just the basics: housing, health care, food, utilities, transportation and associated insurances. It doesn't take long to get to the point-of-no-return to self-sufficiency. Young folks have more time to recover from the "mobbing" that's going on in this country than those not quite of retirement age that have also encountered personal illness or caretaking duties and/or those that made reasonable choices previous to this admin's homewrecking policymaking to invest in their children's advanced educations (whether or not completed). The backlash of creating financial hardships and/or failures in the lower middle class has far greater reach than the fudged statistics are revealing up and down the societal structure.
