The larger problem, for me, is that so much of what both liberals and conservatives have to say is never listened to by the other side. What is Barbara really accomplishing when her work can be so easily picked apart by those who don't want to listen to it?

When you have someone who was white collar employee making 300k a year then ends up being a sales associate at The Gap that doesn't sound right. Not only are the working poor suffering in this Bushworld economy but it's hitting the middle class as well. They are being downsized and their jobs are getting outsourced. <br/><br/>Middle age men with kids are now finding that their careers don't mean anything. The executive job they held for years is now being pulled out from under them too. <br/><br/>Civilus In defenese of Ehrenreich I will say that the book really tries to also show that the middle class is being crushed.
