: Is the American Dream still achievable? 🇺🇸

My take: It’s not gone, but it’s definitely harder now. High prices, low wages, and expensive housing make the climb tougher than it used to be. People can still make it—but it takes more struggle, more luck, and more support than before.

I took the easy way out and joined the military.
I have been retired since 59. Came out after 8 years active and spawned 4 kids. This was at the time that ronnie reagan, the first former hollywood actor to become President, promised a bigger military and a balanced budget. We went from 100 billion dollars in debt to 2 trillion.
He wanted one trillion more but his Star Wars project was voted down in Congress.
It was scary stuff back then. My son invested in Ethereum and bought a Condo and is looking pretty sweet. I couldn’t believe they are starting 50 year mortgages!
We can’t forget the poor though. Looks like someone got caught with their hand in the cookie jar that had 5 billion in it for SNAP.
Greedy billionaires always needing more money.

We could afford more illegal immigrants if we could get the filthy rich to pay their fair share of taxes.
