The new country music hit, “Rich Men North of Richmond,” is the perfect rallying cry against our fake economy. However, we must ensure that we don’t follow mindless populism to simply diagnose symptoms rather than properly identifying the problem and then the accompanying solution. I take a hatchet to my colleagues for refusing to consistently focus on the right issues and force a reckoning on COVID. They simply focus on symptoms of the problem just for ratings and talking points. They are doing the same with the economy and inflation by focusing on the symptoms rather than the cause and the solution. As always, I don’t only critique my colleagues, but offer my own diagnosis and solutions for our unfair economy that has enslaved middle-income Americans to a life of paying bills.
