Affordability Crisis: American Dream Under Threat

The American dream, once tied to opportunity, now seems to hinge on affordable goods, a notion undermined by recent economic policies. Despite White House suggestions to deal with rising costs, consumers are frustrated. The administrations strategy of short-term pain for long-term gain isnt resonating, as consumers grapple with continuous price increases and widespread dissatisfaction. Trumps proposals to address these issues are largely met with skepticism, and his claims of lower prices are not universally true. The cost of essentials like housing, healthcare, and childcare remains a major burden, with median home sales prices soaring. Consumers are tired of being caught off guard by high prices and are increasingly annoyed by their paychecks not going as far as they used to.The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story.
