He can be out of touch too.

Shortly after Trump started to screw up the economy, Wyden stated Trump had ruined an economy that was the envy of the world.[1] The problem is that envy of the world economy was built entirely on decades of deflation of the average persons buying power.

Other world leaders were envious alright. They wanted the secret to how US leaders convinced the public to accept runaway inequality, where it now takes $800k/yr to have the buying power of $200k/yr in 1980.

He’s doing well with the whole investigating Trump angle but like the rest of the Dems he's signed off on looting workers.
