Even if they cut taxes to zero, until the majority of the Country is caught up - the buying power of the nation is gone, thus jobs, money, etc.
Yeppa agreed.

It is one big cluster fuck. Also you are at a point where you cant exactly start being protectionist and importing less because well the country just does not produce the goods needed.

Going to be an interesting next 25 years that for sure.

I dont blame the government for anything. I am doing better than I was years ago. I am just surprised things were allowed to go on so long as they were. Personal choice still effects everything. No one has stopped walking into Wal Mart or started going into the local farmers market.

Personal consumer choices have a huge deal in the blame game also. if not the majority.
