- aaomidi 7y agoThis type of measurement of being better off is inherently flawed. Insurance costs going up and employers paying more for that doesn't mean people have been getting a better and better deal. Also why is it that the standard of life is higher and has grown to be much higher in many European countries with the so called "slow growth" vs America?
- irrational 7y agoI don't need statistics to tell me this is wrong. I can just look at the lives of my family members, my friends, my neighbors, etc. This is an instance where common sense and real life experience trumps statistics. We all know the saying about statistics.
