Americans are stupid. Housing is more expensive but real wages are up, the vast majority of Americans can afford more food than ever before.

Housing is pervasively unattainable, and yet you would still claim that "real wages are up"? What the crap do "real" wages mean to you? Our parents and grandparents easily purchased homes to keep them safe in as they grew old. What "real" wealth do we have that can compare?
