after all, if 100M people were affected by a tsunami, would you blame

If the 100m people went to the beach that day to see the tsunami I
would blame them.
gee. 100M people at the beach
well, i suppose if you're right wing, you HAVE to invent SOME idiotic
excuse....
If these people did not have any personal savings and they spent
significantly more than they made, I blame them too.
and if the middle class hasnt had a real wage increase in 10 years,
you have to invent SOME idiotic reason it's their fault...
BTW where do you get that 100m number you keep throwing around as
fact? If I believe the definition of middle class that was established
here ($100k to $200k) the total number of households is more like 13
million.
there are about 110M wage earners in this country. the middle class
generally is the middle 20-80%

Let's see, 20~80% is about 60%. 60% of 110M wage earners is 66M. The
number is shrinking.
Yep. And the only reason why inflation isn't nuts right now is price
pressures of people not haveing the debt/credit/money they used to. So
companies have to cut costs or face buyers resistance. But at some
point that will no longer work and either shortages occur or prices rise.
