People are in debt mostly bc of govt interference. Ppl are in student loan debt bc nothing is there to keep colleges in check bc everyone gets loans...they know theyll get paid. Same thing happened in healthcare.
But to say we arent in the most prosperous time in human history is silly. 99% have running water, cell phones, indoor plumbing, and arent forced to grow their own food or hope they arent devastated by a bad harvest that starves them.
Total moving of the goal post of what "poverty" is. Otherwise ppl are in debt bc of their envious attitude to keep up with the Jones. If you cant afford a 300k house, dont buy one. The "real cost" of products is falling and continues to do so.
Facts and reality are important, not policy based on good intentions and misguided theory
AOC has what's called "wealth privilege" not meaning she's rich, but that she's wealthy in how easy things are compared to the rest of the world that she refuses to see how good things are
