And you've spent 5 years defending him, fighting tooth and nail at every turn to make sure his beautiful, messianic face isn't tarnished. So what are we supposed to think of you? A leftist or a defender of "centrist corporate hacks?"

And are you aware of the connection between soaring rents and SNAP?

The democrat party (unlike the party from the 1930s-1950s) is a fast track to third world status for the nation.

Educated, confident, and affluent citizens have little use for the democrat party.

??? If that's the case. Democrat policy is unsustainable. On the other hand, the republican policy of increasing the number of the rich AND the number of those dependent on the rich, IS sustainable, even symbiotic.

I've read a claim that there are 800,000 degreed poor people in this country - what is their party?

It is surprising that more than 800,000 working-age adults with post-secondary education are–in fact–poor.
(snip)
In 2000 for example, 22% of poor working-age adults had obtained a post secondary degree.

Rise of the Educated Poor in the Republic
Having a degree and being educated are not the same things. There are many uneducated, degreed people, and many educated, non-degreed people.

High demand, short supply drive rents to sixth highest in the nation - Business - The Boston Globe

Soaring rents force lifestyle changes | Local News | The Seattle Times

In New York, RVs are one answer to soaring rents - Los Angeles Times

Soaring Rents; Berkeley's Controversial Housing Project; More! - AM Linkage - Curbed SF


And that's just the US hits on the first page - the UK seems to be having a similar problem.

Or is this just more sensationalism from liberal media?
