Is The American Dream Dead?
From CNBC:
– ALL 50 states require more than a $100,000 annual income
– 38 states needing more than $140,000
– The most affordable states, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Kentucky, need between $109,000 and $117,000
– The median income for a household of four people in each of those states in 2022 was between $71,000 and $87,000
– Hawaii, California, and Massachusetts are the most expensive. Each requires an annual income of more than $240,000.
The median income for a family of four in those three states in 2022 fell at least $94,000 short of what’s required for the American dream.
A different analysis from EPI found that in about 80% of the country, a family of four can afford their basic needs on less than $100,000 per year. Those include things such as housing, food, transportation, healthcare, childcare, taxes, and a few other basic necessities.

The Unattainable American Dream

Get married, have children, buy a house, and live comfortably on a single income. Not very long ago, that path was the reality, the norm, for the great American middle class.

Honestly, it really feels that way. We don’t seem to have a Constitution, just a group of powerful people.
We don’t have a country with borders, we don’t have any redress with our “government” and majority are watching all they have worked for, circle the drain.

Really, at this point in the game, they should all just say it out loud… “We support open borders, for everyone, from anywhere, at any time, regardless of background and we will use the American taxpayer dollars to fund all of it, forever.”
NEW: Per new CBP data through March, Border Patrol has now apprehended 24,296 Chinese nationals who crossed the US border illegally in FY’24 so far, already eclipsing all of FY’23 (24,125), as illegal crossings of Chinese now up 7,000% over FY’21.
FY’21: 342
FY’22: 1,987
FY’23: 24,125
FY’24: 24,296 (with 6 months to go).
CBP data shows the overwhelming majority of Chinese encountered crossing the border illegally are single adults.
