Boomers: “We paid for college working summers.”
Tuition in 1980: $800/year
Minimum wage: $3.10 = 258 hours. One summer.
Tuition now: $29,600
Minimum wage: $7.25 = 4,083 hours. Two full-time YEARS.
It’s not work ethic. It’s math.
Since 1990, the cost of living in America has exploded.
- Home: $123K to $411K
- College: $1,900 to $29,600 a year
- Health insurance: $3K to $25K
- New car: $15K to $48K
- Rent: $450 to $1,600
Income didn't keep up
I will be exposing the system and what it did to America.
Refunds for Trump's tariffs:
Walmart: $2.9 BILLION
Apple: $2.2 BILLION
Ford: $1.3 BILLION
Target: $994 MILLION
Home Depot: $730 MILLION
Amazon: $600 MILLION
And you? $0
Mega-corporations got refunds. Working people got higher prices.
End the scam.
Hakeem Jeffries is one of the most powerful Democrats in Congress, and the Israeli war lobby has invested heavily in keeping him there.
America needs leaders who answer to their constituents, not a foreign government’s agenda.
The Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, Core PCE, came in at 3.3% for July.
That marks 65 consecutive months above the Fed’s 2% target.
In June, Kevin Warsh said:
“We’ve missed for 5 years. And we’re gonna fix that.”
So far: all talk, no action.

BREAKING: 🇺🇸 American wages have fallen to 43% of national income, the lowest since the Great Depression.
For every $1 the US economy produces, workers are getting less of it than at any point since 1929.
The rest is going to corporate profits, which are now at an all time high.
This is why the economy keeps growing but most Americans feel poorer. GDP goes up, wages go up in dollar terms, but workers are getting a smaller and smaller slice of what they actually produce.
Asset prices keep rising for the same reason.
Money that used to go to wages is now going to shareholders instead, and shareholders put it into stocks, real estate and other assets.
1) "President Trump and I are laser focused on paying down the debt." - Scott Bessent (8/19/25 - video below)
2) US National Debt increases by $2.8 trillion over the next year.
3) "There's nothing magic about the $40 trillion number. And we can grow our way out of that. We are going to be laser focused, as I said" - Scott Bessent (8/20/26)
Since Trump won in 2024, this is how much richer the oligarchs have become:
Elon Musk: $531 billion
Larry Page: $139 billion
Jeff Bezos: $60 billion
Sergey Brin: $128 billion
Michael Dell: $107 billion
FIGHT FOR AN ECONOMY THAT WORKS FOR ALL, NOT JUST THE FEW.
The US recorded its first federal budget surplus since 1969, in 1998.
Bill Clinton was president. Republicans controlled Congress.
Washington fought over almost everything and still found a way to balance the budget.
By 2000, the surplus grew to $237 billion.
Today, it pays more than that in interest every few months.
In 1998, Bill Clinton ended 30 years of deficits, bringing the federal budget to zero deficit.
He went on to deliver record surpluses, 22.7M jobs, 4% unemployment, and the longest peacetime expansion.
BREAKING: Total US debt officially hits $40 trillion for the first time in history.
That's $119,699 in US debt for every American.
This puts the total US debt balance up +$17 trillion since 2020 and +$30 trillion since 2008.
We are on an unsustainable fiscal path.
