I don't have the time to tell all the stories of family and friends, all decent people, who are prime examples of our middle class under attack. More needs to be done to help us fend off unscrupulous credit card lenders (okay, they're fighting for survival too, but is it okay to simply double or triple monthly minimum payments on loyal, responsible customers who pay their bills on time?). I keep waiting for a grassroots revolution where we all default on the credit card companies that are treating us like this. Not to mention the usury and unscrupulous practices of private student loan lenders. One mistake and a default with 30% interest for a few years and your life is over. I know too many in this situation. The USA needs to start showing an interest in investing in the education of the next generation and rewarding those who are ambitious enough to go to college or the equivalent instead of making money off of them. I too wonder if anyone in the administration will read this at all. I know there are so many crises going on. Class warfare started in 1980 with Reagan and the middle class has gone under. I don't know what can be done to save the middle class, but I support all efforts to do so and to fend off the supporters of the elitist conservative ideology that has brought us to this abyss. SAVE THE MIDDLE CLASS!!! HELP!!!
