There are 2 major things broken in this country:

The Job Market: I have been out of work 6 months and actively looking for nearly 3. I can speak first hand that combined layoffs with an ever growing student pool who cannot find work it's damning. It is very common now to see the words "Entry Level" followed by need 3+ years of this or 5+ years of that for $22/hr. I lean right but I can tell you that job market report recently is complete BS. I am not speaking from just my standpoint but the thousands trying to apply for work. College Degree's and Certifications do not mean jack squat now. It's also common to see people with Bachelor or Master Degree's working at Star Bucks or a low level job that grossly underpays them due to job shortages. My sector is Tech and now that is becoming a global market. Not only Ai is taking over but Outsourcing is now ramped. Older and new tech employees like me have to try to compete with someone from India or another nation who can afford to work for $5/hr. The Medical field is just as bad with a ton of problems I can name, and even Trades people compete with immigrants or people who can afford to work much cheaper than you can.

Education: Parents do not parent anymore and these damn kids do not want to learn. The United States has fallen way behind on a global scale for Education and teachers are Quitting at rapid rates. I have read and saw countless articles of teachers complaining about the Kids not respecting authority and most cannot read anywhere near their grade level. American teachers are openly complaining about High School Students who are reading at elementary levels. Mathematics has fallen even further. So the School system pushes many of these students out with a Diploma, despite the fact they cannot even read, write, or even basic math at a middle school level. Now with the DEI programs for woke Schools, they lowered the standard so some of the Qualified Students who did make it through the School system with a decent education are not granted an opportunity. These Colleges are indoctrination camps who spread the liberal propaganda and even allows Crazyness like burning American flags on Campus or Gay students who are Cheering on Palestine but do not understand they would be stoned to death over there for being gay. I won't even mention the many many useless College Diploma's like, Liberal Arts, Art History, Computer Science (it is useless now), etc. Even many of the ones who chose the right degree, worked hard and graduated, are now highly underpaid in a job that is out of their field and drowning in Student debt. Think about this: We won't allow a person to drink until they are 21 years old. We will however allow an 18 year old student become Hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. Do you really think an 18 year old understands the impact of that loan in their life?

Cost of living: I hope it does come down under Trump but it's a long process. I do understand all the Damage the whole Biden Crime Family did to the economy and it will take time to recover. With that said, it's a perfect storm right now for people to get real desperate. Jobs are hard to get or grossly underpaying people, Housing is expensive and hard to get, The Cost of Living is extremely expensive while opportunities are getting worse. I know once things go up, they rarely ever go back down. The majority of Americans need some kind of relief.
