We also find that as the Federal Reserve destroys the value of the currency, what you're finding is that, if you're poor, if you make $20,000 a year and you have three or four kids, and you're trying to get by, as your prices rise or as the value of the dollar shrinks, these are the people that are hurt the worst.

Booman had a post on the "embarrassing" debate and mentioned that Trump was caught off mike saying workers were paid too much. Haven't heard any more about this.
