Trump's cost of living con

Thom Hartmann -  Donald Trump calls our concern over the cost of living a “con,” but the real con is being foisted on working Americans by the billionaires and corporate monopolies that bankroll him. For forty years, wages have flatlined while profits and CEO pay soared and Trump’s tax cuts, deregulation, and corporate handouts only supercharged that inequality. He brags about a cheaper Walmart Thanksgiving while ignoring that those “savings” come from poverty wages and taxpayer subsidies — and the fact that Walmart has made their “example basket” considerably smaller and gotten rid of brand-name products. This isn’t affordability, it’s exploitation fueled by pure BS. The truth is, Trump’s America works great for the morbidly rich and their gilded ballrooms and private jets, but for everyone else it’s a rigged game where corporations set prices, crush unions, and call it “freedom.” The real “con” is pretending that helping out billionaires helps people like you and me.
