> Forgot to say that these numbers are rarely ever mentioned by the mainstream media (MSM) I see despairing articles about the state of the American middle class in the media all the time. In fact, this very article is from the mainstream media.

Not the headline news, which is what most people consume. There ARE despairing articles to be found, but you need to reach out a bit to find them.

  I certainly don't go out of my way to find despairing articles, yet I come across them all the time.
