Why is the government not addressing this “silent depression ” we’re living in?

Rent, mortgage, food, gas, heathcare, ect. The price of everything has jumped up again and I believe most of us are drowning. The money we make at our jobs never seem to be enough to pay for simple necessities yet prices are still raising thru the roof. Why isn't this addressed or even mentioned. This country is slowing turning into a place for the rich to live and the less fortunate to survive or die trying. Is this considered a political question? Maybe. What are yall thoughts?
