I was at a ups store with my wife, they had a help wanted ad for a counter person and they preferred a 4 yr degree. That's not a booming economy. A booming economy was during the dot com boom, if you got a certificate to be able to work on websites and high school diploma that equaled a guaranteed 80k a year job.

Inflation is going up faster than at anytime in the last 10 years.. Any gains from tax cuts have been wiped out by inflation and Trumps tariffs for the working class. The only "normal" people the tax cuts had any real effect on were owners of LLCs like my self. Due to owning a LLC ill pay less taxes.
However regular employess got fucked, specifically company drivers for trucking companies.. Trumps tax cuts took away the ability for company drivers to get credit for perdiem. Meaning those company drivers can nolonger write off their daily expenses with out itemizing meaning they are now paying more taxes thanks to Trumps tax cuts..
Regular workers are paying for tax cuts to the rich is what it comes down to. Not to mention the fucking home owners got out of Trumps tax cuts..
If a regular worker still managed to get some sort of tax cut its been lost to rising fuel and inflation costs thanks to Trumps other actions.
In short, the only thing Trump has been good at is fucking shit up for the middle/working class. However thats been a Republican hobby for years now.
