It is to say that it is not the optimum situation by a long shot. Of course, the obvious thing politicians could do would be to lighten the tax burden. When an American family has to labor practically half a year just to pay taxes, it's small wonder both parents are forced to work to maintain any kind of a standard of living. Politicians need to reform the monetary system. Just because the inflation rate goes down, it doesn't mean that inflation is no longer a problem.
Inflation is cumulative and never evenly distributed.
In many categories, wages have not inflated at the same rate as prices. Divorce laws ought to be toughened. Kids need a papa and a mama, and there's no getting around it. Politicians ought to look carefully at banning the practice of doping American children. About 6 million American kids have been put on mind-altering drugs, including, by the way, several of those kids involved in school shootings.
