The middle class is being priced out, here are twelve things liberals claim people can no longer afford


In the decades since Ronald Reagan’s economic policies were enacted, the people of America have prospered indeed. During that period, those policies known as “Reaganomics” have been improved upon by every GOP administration and each Republican controlled Congress without fail.

The Republican’s war on the liberals’ economy-strangling government regulations, coupled with GOP legislation, which has repeatedly cut taxes for the United States’ corporate giants and the super-wealthy class, have been wildly successful. The free-market system has never been more profitable or more inclusive.

For nearly forty-five years conservative economic strategies have proven themselves beneficial all Americans. And as we enter 2026, our citizenry is living its best life possible due to the trump administration’s vast insights. Business is booming, unemployment is all but nonexistent (unfortunately, some state legislatures have raised minimum wage over twice the acceptable limit), and federal tariffs collected on imported goods are on track to eliminate our national debt.

So after all the Bide-n-flation you’re going to blame it on Reagan?
 
If liberals are genuinely concerned about the economic impact of higher costs on the middle class, the why does the Left pursue policies that increase the price of gas which increases the cost of everything else?

Obama famously said, “energy prices must necessarily increase”.

Shutting down the world economy is a big reason why inflation is what it is, yet no one will admit it because no one wants to be accountable for it.

And as you say, the Left has no answers other than, Orange man needs impeached and to give away everything free, which will drive inflation even higher. Yea, NOTHING is free, that is a bold face lie that the Left lives on.

Oh, and the Trump tax cuts that would disappear would probably be the nail in the coffin of the middle class.
 
Libs think that coffee waitresses should be "middle class" and be able to live in a 2500 sq ft home with a couple of SUV's in the driveway and be able to afford their kids' orthodontic bills on a Starbucks salary.

This is income inequality over time. Notice that it started going up much more due to Reagan's policies, and it's never really stopped.
 
This whole lib argument shows a different way of thinking.

Libs think that someone's income should be based on their wants and needs, not on what they do for their employer.


Just like the famous lib back in the day said "From each according to their abilities and to each according to their needs.

It is weird that you don't mention the three democratic presidents since Reagan that had the option to change Reagan's Free Trade policies and choose to build on them too.


Why was that?

The free trade of Reagan is certainly a contributing factor. Which is why MAGA wants to change it.

So...why are you lefties fighting us on that?

Also, 1970? Those trends also could be tracking with women and mexicans flooding the labor market too.

Under Trump middle class wages have increased and when tax cuts kick in pay will increase as withholdings are less. Inflation slowing and interest rates have had 2 cuts. Gas is under 3.00 dollars. The middle class is fare better off under Trump than Biden who crushed their spending power.

We had inflation because of Bidens massive debt based spending and energy policies. Inflation is slowing under Trump.

Lot of those years, democrats were in charge.

Yeah, I pointed that out too. He ignored me.

It is also worth pointing out that today, he and other libs, as a group, are fighting to stop people who want to change the policies that led to those trends.


His position makes zero sense.
