WOW! The Obama 'Recovery': Number Of Millennials Living At Home With Mom Reaches 75-Year High

The wealthy sure got their share. They get theirs in good times and bad. Judging from Trump's cabinet picks making money is going to be like daylight robbery, shooting fish in a barrel for those guys. The reason people are living at home with mom is the last time the fat cats made out they took the value out of home ownership.

Yes.

Remember, one of the first parts of the ACA was enacted because, coming out of 2008, we had so many college grads who were unemployed or underemployed, that they couldn't get health insurance. The ACA extended their coverage under their parents' policies until age 26. I clearly remember the discussions at that time regarding the ACA and the fact that coming out of the 2008 recession, so many college grads were unemployed and uninsured.

At the time I had kids just entering college and I was worried about health coverage for them. I had many friends with recent college grads and very few of them could get a job.

So, while it might not yet be perfect for millenials, at least where I live, the job market has vastly improved for them. I think their pay is lower than it should be compared to college grad salaries of the past, but the job market for them has picked up slowly over the last 8 years. But let's not forget who got us there.

As a parent of two milennials, I am waiting with excitement for Trump to do what Obama could not and create these jobs and put money back into the middle class.

Both Republicans, and Democrats took part in dismantling our economy.

Hopefully the establishment politicians won't fight Trump on reversing the policies that are destroying our economy. Who am I kidding, of course they will fight Trump every step of the way.

Exactly. And who can put a time frame on when it started ? Late 60's , 70's ? It's been going on a long time.

With the repub a-- holes in congress with the brakes on 24-7 sure - they would meet EVEN before the potus presented the deal- and say we shall say -NO- NO and NO - GRIDLOCK at is best - and we the people suffered for that. But as usual it's either a woman's fault or a minority in some form -
