3 things need to change. (Long rant)

[Streeter]

Healthcare costs
Tuition costs
Housing costs

Since I graduated College in 98. They have gone up double to triple while salaries have maybe gone up 50% .

Job I had in 98 paid right out of college 19 bucks n hour today is paid 28.

My folks had moved to Chicago in 97 they paid just under 300k for their house in Park ridge IL. My father sold it 5 years ago for 1.2 Mil. Health care costs ..... I cant give a personal account estimate but being my old man builds Hospitals he told me well over double which is likely modest.

Now the GOP folks will say 2 things ...... A. People need to just learn to live within means 2. Blame the banks for handing out loans to easy making it easier for corporate folks to to exponentially raise prices on the most needed things for the American dream.

Now I will admit banks definitely have a share of blame...... guess what when banks and the financial sector dont have regulations this shit happens. Allowing corporations and big business including health care drive up prices...... be cause hey they can get a loan right?

Something needs to be done regarding the prices of these things. It's ridiculous to have tuition go over double n sometimes close to more than triple when salaries go up 40 to 50% to have housing costs sky rocket to a point of evev more than triple. And hospital costs...... for a serious issue and maybeca 3 week stay including procedures CRIPPLES families without Cadillac plan insurance.


Things simply need to change.

So many of these diehard Trumpers like the one JD saw have no jobs or dead end shit jobs and they rally hard behind Trump....... the one that CUTS regulations n gives the mega rich corporate the. Biggest tax cut ever while throwing the people bread crumbs...... I swear it's like Jews becoming Nazis or Black folks joing the Klan ...... lambs to the slaughter with a smile n cheering.

Would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Many people understand the political and monetary systems have been rigged for generations through criminal and treasonous activity.

They know we cant prosper without the fixing of the system in place.

When we get back to a sound money system....Yes, this will happen under Trump. We will bring back more and more manufacturing as well as lucrative trade deals and get the USMCA deal signed, then the USA will be rocking again.

Then we can at that point take on what the future brings in regards to weather and external threats to our world.

There is another reason for cost increase even folks with private care before the aca bore the bueden of those that didnt help it. Medicare cost are government driven no real competition cost have skyrocketed with the aca as the ridiculous participation rules and the atrociuos conpays drive that as well as the 30M people that dont have insurance oddly that number still holds despite the law those folks dont pay.

I do not disagree that somthing needs to be done about prices encouraging interstate competition with insurance companies, tort reform, and honestly getting government outbof somthing hat they continually botch up with over regulation is important.. housing cost is driven by market and location if people can pay they will lending needs control fannie may freddie mack etc encouraged fols to buy well beyond traditional levels causing forfetyurevand deptession of home values as bans etc dumped the homes. Part of the housing issue is folks wanted instant gradification for homes they were not willing to have starter homes and trade up over time.

Regulation caused many companies to out source work high psying jobs to other companies causing a loss of jobs and middle class tax base entiltlement skyrocketed goverment support for failing companies really didnt work less then two percent growth was the norm govt told us thats the way its going to be.

Then Trump happened deregulation Ithout negative effects on the environment better employment for everyone in particular minorities all by taking government and taxation off of our backs healthcare should be next deregulation is the key not more rules

I disagree with much of this. You state the market drives the housing costs etc. Then why wouldnt the market drive salaries as well. When a person makes 50% more yet housing and tuition goes 200 to 300 % more how does it make sense that ots the market. Housing has gone wild because simply it's easy to get a gone loan without the regulations. Thus corporate greed they push the envelope of which people can borrow driving up home prices. Over regulation is bad but u need regulations in place.

Trump has been a corporate gift with the corporate tax cuts n the regulations. Being cut.

When u increase the cost u need to increase wages

Market and competition streeter for houses pure and smple. Salaries fact is the mmigrant system as is provides a big influx of cheap manual and professiona. The simple fact is foreign nationals are willing to work for less and many industries are willing to forego experiance and higher salaries to cut the bottom line. Tuition ive no good snswer for except loojk at all of the new buildings on campus. There are many reasons why immigration nees control work visa need polcing and industry and universities need to provide adequate reasons for prohibitive price increase

...Politicians are just too deeply embedded in everything...money from big corps and money from lobbyists line their offshore/out of country bank accounts...
