No, it isn't because we also said to look for investment and wealth building opportunities.
As adults, we should already know about inflation and the inner workings of capitalism. But discussing that without discussing the consumer economy is ignoring what economists, politicians, and social scientists have been examining even before FDR's New Deal and through the economic shifts of the 80s and 90s.
Inflation happens so deal with it. You won't change how the capitalist economy operates immediately but you can alter how you operate within it with hopes for a better outcome. Either advocate self-empowerment or advocate an increase in the welfare state and state dependents. But I don't want my tax paying money to go to people who really don't need it as much as liberals have told them they do.
