It is Unsustainable

When AOL was doubling in stock price and splitting 3 for 1 every 3 months despite earning no income in the late 1990s: It was UNSUSTAINABLE.

When personal income was very flat in the mid 2000s but housing prices kept rising: It was
UNSUSTAINABLE.

When Tesla's stock price went from $50 a share to $300 without making any money: It is UNSUSTAINABLE.

When NYU Dental School charges $125,000 a year to train to be a dentist: It is UNSUSTAINABLE

When overhead in a dental practice is 74% of every dollar produced by the dental practice: It is UNSUSTAINABLE.

When physicians incomes are the same for the last 20 years, when considering inflation: It is UNSUSTAINABLE.

When people bought a house in 2005 and put no money down and took home $20,000 from the closing: It was UNSUSTAINABLE.

If we keep selecting unreasonable people who refuse to compromise to represent us in Congress: It is UNSUSTAINABLE.

We must learn to recognize when things have gotten out of alignment and make changes. Failing to do so will mean  an America that none of us recognize.
