92% Of Employed Americans Have Cut Back On Spending As The Standard Of Living In The US Crumbles
Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,
The headline of this article is not a misprint. The reason why “affordability” has become the number one issue for U.S. voters is because most of the population is being absolutely crushed by the rising cost of living.
Just look at how much you are paying for electricity compared to five years ago. And just look at how much you are paying for food compared to five years ago.

A globally unique programme allowed the poor to demand – and get – jobs, empowering rural women. Narendra Modi courts trouble by hollowing it outFew countries have attempted anything as ambitious as India's rural jobs guarantee. Under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, any adult in the countryside who demanded work was entitled to a job on local public works within 15 days, failing which the government had to pay an unemployment allowance. Enacted in 2005, MGNREGA created the world's most far-reaching legal right to employment. It generates 2bn person-days of work a year for about 50m households.
