US Vice President JD Vance on conversation with a young engineer that made him realise that America's economic problems run deeper than salaries or jobs

US Vice President JD Vance says that America’s economic challenges go beyond wages and employment, pointing to a deeper crisis of affordability and opportunity. According to a report by Benzinga, speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience , Vance recalled a conversation with a young engineer earning well above average yet still unable to image owning a home. “You make way more money than 75% of people your age… and you think it is like this ridiculous, unachievable objective to have literally what your parents had,” Vance said.
