bullshite. You can get a studio in Lenox Village for a little over 1k/mo. Bellevue is 15 minutes from heart of Nashville and you can get a studio cheaper than that. Using the 30% rule, if you aren’t making 36k/yr working in Nashville, you need to reconsider your life.
There is a reason Murfreesboro is the fastest growing large city in Tennessee for 3 or 4 years in a row.
It's not because people love the strip malls and bland suburban life style.
I know 3 couples that just moved this year to Murfreesboro or Clarksville and commute everyday. They couldn't afford to live here and pay for child care. Child care is like 10k to 15k per year. Most people under 35 here also have student loan debt.
For those that didn't go to college.
36k is like 18/per hour. Most of the factory jobs like Amazon, UPS, FedEx etc start around 15/hr which is only like 31k. Madison is really the only reasonably affordable place to live for those people and Madison is hood now.

It’s the Weak Minds that will never admit that Trump knows what the frick he’s doing when it comes to the economy and job growth and that their messiah Obama was a disaster...

Everybody who thinks "wealth gap" is an actual problem can go pound sand. Wealth gap in America is a good thing. It means you have the potential to make more if you are able or willing to do something people want to pay for. So what if the billionaires get richer? Did they take it out of your pocket? Or is the fact that you don't have the skills or the work ethic to make more of yourself the reason why you don't do better for yourself. Or it could be that we have a ton of people who think it's ok to covet what other people have. Either way, in America there is one person responsible for your failure or success and that is YOU.
His couldn’t be further from the truth. I remember the days when every single US citizen owned a mansion, a yatch, and multiple lambos. Then zuckerberg and bezos came along and built companies that provide services people want and then everyone’s wealth dried up.

People lie to pollsters for effect.
Remember the Kenyan? I recall gop voters laughing while they lied to camera, " umm, I don't really know. Maybe he's a Muslim".

You just outed yourself and most of this board by posting that.
Blacks, at best, make up 14% of the US population. Once you factor in those with lower middle or higher salaries, then its impossible for the rate to be that high with only blacks. You can make an argument they're disproportionately represented, but nowhere near the total value of welfare recipients.
The truth is that regardless of race, many lower income families depend on some form of welfare. And many states rely on federal welfare because they pay less in taxes than what they get back.

His rating on the rcp average is solid, it's like +8 on average.
I wonder why Rasmussen polling results on economy approval doesn't report/show up on RCP? Most all of Rasmussen's other polling does?

Taxpayers aren’t trillionaires, genius. Learn how numbers work. You’re such an emotional woman.

The people who approve are too busy working and contributing to society to take a poll.

They are disgusting hacks for the billionaires and it boggles my mind how any non-billionaire could possibly think what they are doing is a good thing. They literally are taking from the middle class and the poor and giving it to the rich.
Educate yourself on the tax law, you hack.

Back in reality, the liberal Tax Policy Center calculated that the TCJA would benefit 80 percent of families and raise taxes for just 5 percent—with the higher taxes disproportionately affecting the wealthiest 1 percent. The median family would save $930 per year, while the average family would save $1,610. Bizarrely, this outcome was portrayed as a declaration of war on working families.
Where are you getting your absurd data that the TCJA has raised taxes on the middle class?

i live a little west of nashville.. closer than bellevue.. and my morning commute is 25 minutes with average traffic. Lenox village studios apartments run about $1,050-1200.. it's about a 30 minute commute as well.
shite is crazy. i think it has peaked though.. permits for development have slowed slightly.

I don't think it has anything to do with disability. I think the economy is relative to where you are in life and what you make.
There is a huge amount of people that are low skilled worker that make minimum wage to $10/hr. They possess few skills necessary for the work force. Changes in the economy has not really done much for them. Yes they got the payroll tax bump, but if you are getting an extra 2% of $200 a week it isn't much.
Life hasn't changed for them and they know it.

I can testify as someone who has benefited from the job market.
I see new hires come in practically every month. And I'm getting more feedback on my online job profile.
But these are mostly for Degreed jobs in the tech sector. I'm sure other industries are the same.
The average retail guy isnt getting the better end of deal.

. I would think with the 45 years of living on this earth in the USA.. I have never once been asked to vote for a bullshite poll... land line, cell phone, in person...
I'm 80 - never been polled.
About 30 years ago, I think I had an opportunity to be in on Neislon ratings - not sure about the specifics because I refused whatever it was immediately.
That was my only shot at influencing the nations opinion rating.
However for the past 3 years I have started not answering cell phone calls from numbers I don't recognize. And I no longer have a land line.

There is a legitimate beef with juicing the economy with a trillion dollar giveaway to the wealthy and large corporations. Some people don’t see any benefit.

Repeating trite talking points is an indicator that you aren't capable of original thought.
According to the lower IQ spectrum on the left, everything is a "giveaway to the rich and corporations"
