The current economic landscape reveals a significant divide between the financial elite on Wall Street and the average American. While Wall Street investors celebrate low unemployment statistics and favorable market conditions, many everyday consumers face rising credit card debts and diminishing purchasing power, exacerbated by high interest rates.
