Yep, government is getting bigger and the middle class is getting smaller. If you think you can blame either party you’re a narrow minded fool. 
Too many people think the American way of life is financial success at all costs.
Maybe not all cost. But its nice to bust your ass and actually get some where. most people that do that rarely get to where they want to be. BTW i am not talking about the people that want 10030583" flat screen tv’s, 100 cars, and 12048 sq foot mansions.
I don’t know at what point in US history all Americans felt entitled to have the American dream with out working for it…
Seems now a days everyone expects to have a car, cell phone, TVs, cable, etc…The US wasn’t always like this.
Seems people over extend themselves because they don’t understand how to live with out and feel they deserve to have everything…
