This is the kind of news that's been suppressed by the administration(s). Until we have a government that's willing to admit there's a problem, we're never going to have a fix. All we hear from both R and D is that the economy is doing great, never better, maximum employment.
I blame the suffering on the internet - which has hyper focused the "mob" to blame something immediately when something sounds horrible. For some reason our "fix" is to group people into camps that forever have 50% of the population that can blame the other 50%. This way, no one ever feels at fault - they simply "switch sides" as soon as they perceive a bit more blame on them.
