    According to the U.S. government jobs are plentiful and the economy couldn’t be in a better position. Well if credit card debt and loan defaults are at record highs that clearly signifies that wages are too low to keep up with the inflated cost of living. Many companies now are offering lower wages, less promotions, requiring relocation at your own expense and work from home is going away. Corporate greed is at an all time high. So the news can report whatever they want but the truth cannot be hidden forever. Something larger is going on and this administration is failing in tremendous ways!
