Americans are feeling the consequences of years of disastrous economic policy, but the severity of the problem in real terms is staggering!
Michael Snyder shares some shocking facts about this struggle that might seem funny if they weren’t happening right now. Here are ten ways to end the phrase, “Americans are so broke…”:
Yes, things are going fairly well for the elitists that live in the good areas of New York City, Washington D.C. and San Francisco right now, but most of the country is deeply struggling as our economic fundamentals continue to crumble. Please share these numbers with as many people as you can, because we need people to understand that there has not been an “economic recovery” for most of America. In fact, in many ways things just continue to get even worse. The following are 21 ways to end the phrase “Americans are so broke”…
1. Americans are so broke that about a third of them have debt collectors on their heels. One recent study discovered that more than one out of every three adults in the United States has an unpaid debt that is “in collections“. That is a total of 77 million people.
