Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

I was glad that he brought up that, you know, complement to affordability is the issue that wages haven't gone up because we can talk a lot about the increase in prices.

American Power

So inflation goes, you know, they raise the prices, but it's it's part it's not the only there's artificial inflation.

And there's there's greed, of course, but it's not the only component in affordability is that wages are the same as they were 33 years ago.

Who cares?

American Power

American Power

Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

Where the economic element is like, you let these people become vulnerable to that kind of misinformation and then feel like they were being scolded.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve

That wouldn't matter if these people could afford to live comfortably.

American Power
Rep. Adam Smith on the War Congress Didn’t Approve
