CNN: What Trump doesn’t understand about the poor.
The American Dream is no longer a house with a yard. It’s a stable paycheck.
What CNN doesn’t seem to understand is that is that when target inflation is for a nominal 2% there is no so thing as a stable paycheck -for anyone.

The government makes nothing on its own. All it does is due to the efforts of others. Let's be honest. So how exactly is the government going to ensure that everyone gets a paycheck and a stable one at that?
After 8 years of the previous administration's "best efforts", CNN is "way ahead of the curve" 4.5 months into President Trump's term in identifying the "suddenly poor" people's problems.
What CNN doesn't understand is the poor have a stable paycheck. It's called welfare, food stamps, section 8, and Medicaid, and we're paying for it, and the "poor" don't give a shit about working when they are getting paid not to work.
I know so many who milk the system, it isn't funny. And their excuse is always the same: "The rich do it, so can we."
Not everyone can take advantage of the system, so screw them??
This is why the working class voted for Trump. Not because he's going to save the country or the world single-handedly. But because he will bring chaos just by merely being in office. It's worth seeing the spectacle he has brought on just by having the title POTUS.
