by Summary:
The destruction wrought by our political and financial elites could take another 10 years to undo. Last week the American Conservative ran an article about how tough it was now for the upper middle clasess. Their wages may be okay, but their jobs were harder than ever and their bills were increasing, so much so, that after for paying for everything they didn't have much spare cash for an emergency. This week in the American Conservative it's now the younger middle class that are complaining. The 2008 meltdown shattered their dreams, they say, all the hard work they have put in, their privileged upbringing, their excellent qualifications, their high expectations, all in ruins. They blame everything on the "greedy" elites, and they are right. It's so good to see the upper
