College costs are insane because heaven forbid it not have a bloated administrative staff with more Deans and Assistant Deans than faculty, or heaven forbid it not have the newest gym, dorms, or dining hall facilities. The other problem is that we have demonized trade schools and union apprenticeships as alternative means of advancement versus going to college. Electricians, auto repairmen, etc. will always be needed.Health care was going up well before Trump was elected. For someone like me, Affordable Care Act has been a disaster. My premiums have gone up every year thanks to fewer insurance companies in the marketplace for consistently decreasing benefits. Since the Affordable Care Act was passed, my insurance has changed 5 or 6 times due to plans no longer being offered, my rates have more than doubled, and I am getting less. First it was not having out of network benefits, then they curtailed who was in network, then they took away the ability to see “specialists” without needing a referral. I was/am young, healthy, and do not have any pre-existing conditions. Finding inexpensive high quality health insurance prior to Affordable Care Act was not an issue. With housing, growth has exceeded wage growth. In any non-government controlled economy that happens. If your entry level job is no longer meeting your needs, acquire the tools to get a better job. It is not the job of the government to provide housing and a wage to everyone. This isn’t Venezuela. The solutions to your problems are not more government regulation as Sanders proposes. |
