Those that are working are doing ok, the many that are not are not doing so great. We have stopped being a manufacturing Nation, we do well in the service industry, but when it come to truly high-tech industries we are still back where we were years ago, not much to show and not a good sign for the future.
Median household income rose to $59,039 in 2016, a 3.2 percent increase from the previous year and the second consecutive year of healthy gains, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday. The nation’s poverty rate fell to 12.7 percent, returning nearly to what it was in 2007 before a financial crisis and deep recession walloped workers in ways that were still felt years later.
So why are so many on food stamps compared to 2007? 28 million vs to 41 million
Lower taxes, higher wages and less money flowing into Washington DC for the criminals to get their hands on. Even some sensible liberals can agree with that

Luckily Americans are too stupid to understand that having high incomes is meaningless when you have a very high cost of living, high taxes, and no place to put your savings that doesn't lose money to inflation and rising cost of living.
And this is a good thing? Aren't we all supposed to be living in pasteboard boxes and begging for food from the government trucks?
