This is the top comment of the Readers Picks, "This is so tiresome seeing the same points being put forth again and again. How about this for a concept? "The Economy" doesn't work for most people, because essentials for a good life are too expensive and difficult to get. I'm talking about housing, healthcare, education, and childcare. Everything that is required for a good standard of living is increasingly out of reach for people. These critical sectors of our economy are leeching money out of people. When people feel like they can't afford to have a good future and can't afford to have children, the economy feels bad. It doesn't matter if you're fully employed. We're all one misstep away from ruin in this country. Better be perfect in every way or else your life will be in tatters."
Like I said, this isn't Fox news. The NYT reader base is well to the left of center and also more affluent than the median home. This is the end result of the fiat system where a small minority gets to steal from the masses via inflation.
