Everyone wants to talk about whether the economy is strong or weak. I look at it a little differently. I look at the people living in it. Today, more than 1 in 5 Americans over 65 are still in the workforce. Some are there because they want to be. Many are there because retirement no longer covers the cost of living. I remember when my own grandmother told me that just one of my grandfather's medications costs $800 a month. One medicine. At the same time, about half of Americans under 30 are still living at home because buying a home, paying rent, and simply getting started has become increasingly out of reach. In contrast, my parents gave me luggage for my high school graduation. The message couldn't have been clearer: they had absolutely no expectation I'd be living at home much longer. Think about what this all says. We don’t have a laziness problem, we have an affordability one. One generation can't afford to retire. Another can't afford to launch. That also isn't a Republican problem or a Democrat problem even though everyone wants to blame the other. It's an American problem. The strength of our economy shouldn't be measured only by the stock market or GDP. It should be measured by whether young Americans can build a prosperous future and whether older Americans can retire with the dignity they earned. Right now, too many are struggling to do either. We must do better.
