We wonder why we're so screwed.

1. That article is 11 years old... the number of millionaires in Congress now is probably close to 90% of them.
2. Being a millionaire means you are upper middle class, so its not a really a big deal.
3. The "average" American household is worth $1.1M, hence the average American is a millionaire.*
4. Hence if the point of the article is to suggest that congressman are out of touch, well they are, but for much different reasons than the article suggests. Congressman do not run on their own money but spend a large part of their time selling their votes to benefactors (donors)... that is what makes them out of touch.

* - while the average American household is a $1.1M, that stat is misleading. Due to wealth disparity, the average number distorts the reality as the median American household net worth is about $190K.

Personally all I see coming from this administration is chaos caused by trump's revenge tour. If this administration has made your life better will you please share how? Thank you.

My life has been the same as it has been over the last dozen or so presidents. Who ever has been president has made no difference in how I live my life or effected it. I think for most of us, who’s president has a physiological effect rather than a physical one. I do agree, with Trump we get a very chaotic government. Chaos and confusion. I do dislike Trump’s revenge style and his attempt to rule via executive orders which shouldn’t be. Even so, he hasn’t had any affect on my life. I’ve lived it the same way I did under Biden, Trump, Obama, G.W. Bush, Bill Clinton and on back.

I totally agree

I don't look to the person in the White House to solve my problems for me.

I do keep watch for people in the White House who will make my life worse, however, and Trump has done that.

We don't hear anything about 'job creation' anymore.

"Job creation" has been the backbone of every administration since Truman!


This has only been about wealth creation, which has nothing to do with the over all economy. "Trickle down" is empty Reagan rhetoric....and rhetoric was all the old monkey handler could handle.

If we don't measure food insecurity, no one's hungry
If we delete research on right-wing violence, there's no right-wing violence
If we don't release inflation data, there's no inflation
If we stop Covid testing, we'll have fewer cases

You see what's happening, right?
