Comment on More and more Americans are becoming 'ALICEs.' They can't afford rent and groceries but are falling through the cracks in the country's safety net.

The lower half of Americans (about 170ish million citizens) are sharing about 3% of the nation’s wealth. I have no idea what it’s going to take for the general population to realize that neither major party has their wellbeing as a priority, because that data clearly shows that screwing US citizens is a bilateral policy and persists regardless of who holds majority. Forbes just released a report that 1 in 3 have maxed out their credit cards trying to deal with inflation.
