The Erosion of the American Middle Class

The podcast discusses the diminishing presence of the American middle class as a critical issue in the current political landscape.

The decline of the middle class is portrayed as not just a statistical problem but a fundamental societal crisis that is affecting voter sentiment and political discourse. The conversation underscores the irony of candidates claiming middle-class roots, despite a widespread perception that the traditional American dream is increasingly unattainable.
