Schiff: Dems Have to Address a ‘Structural Problem’ with the U.S. Economy to Win the Majority in the Future

‘The problem today is that people are working and they still can’t get by’

EXCERPT:

SCHIFF: "Well, I think we have to address, frankly, a structural problem with the economy that we have not significantly delivered on enough. And that is that it's just not working for millions of people. And the problem is that — not that they're not working. Unemployment is low. The problem today is that people are working and they still can't get by."

TAPPER: "Some of them two or three jobs, yeah."

SCHIFF: "Exactly. And I think, when people see the quality of life their parents had and say, 'You know, that's better than what I have, and the future for my kids is even more in doubt,' all too many will entertain any demagogue who comes along promising that they alone can fix it. So we're going to have to address these structural economic problems, if we're going to not only become a majority again, but the kind of a durable majority, which is what I want to see happen."
