Yup. Even those of us who grew up lower middle class in America have a lot of the same problems as the OP. Just a bit too rich to qualify for any subsidies, nowhere near rich enough to afford stability or be able to pay for things like a college tuition. AFAIK it's been like that from day one, heck it might be better because at least nowadays we attempt to help somebody, just nobody like me. Things are slowly changing, and that's a good thing. I'd like to see people like me getting a little more help - it's good for them, good for business, good for the economy...it's "wins" all the way around. I don't want to be one of those people who begrudge those people from getting help because I didn't get any.
