The US is so close to a near ideal mixed economy. If the cartels holding oligopolies on housing, healthcare, and education were disbanded life would be dare I say pleasant in America. Today GDP keeps rising because of a few free money trees, while quality of life for many is deteriorating. Becoming middle class is stressful here, and while it shouldn’t necessarily be easy it should at least be formulaic. Young people seem to sense this formula is disappearing before them.
The formula is disappearing before them and the formula is getting harder and harder to execute. Failure, or what's deemed as failure, is seen to carry more dire consequences than ever.
What we're seeing is exactly what you would expect to happen if the middle class is indeed disappearing.

These are three of the most important things one needs in life, though. If there are cartels holding oligopolies on these, how can you possibly conclude that the US is close to a near ideal mixed economy?
