When Even Repukes realize things are Bad - Things are Bad

No great love for the author, Michael Snyder - a raging conservative, but even he realizes that the wheels are falling off the U.S. economy. Interesting read.

"Over 38 million American households can’t afford their housing, an increase of 146 percent in the past 16 years, according to a recent Harvard housing report.

Under federal guidelines, households that spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing costs are considered “cost burdened” and will have difficulty affording basic necessities like food, clothing, transportation and medical care.

But the number of Americans struggling with their housing costs has risen from almost 16 million in 2001 to 38 million in 2015, according to the Census data crunched in the report. That’s more than double."
