not only is the middle class being squeezed by employment problems, look at the real estate markets these days. Down here in south county, a person earning 35 G a year can not buy a house down here unless you have a big down payment. I think the average price for a house is around 350,000. I know this is not the fault of the goverment, but it just goes to show that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. soon there will be no middle class, only the haves and the have nots.
