Arizona's middle class in crisis: Many are barely hanging on
• AZcentral.comThe collapse of Arizona's housing economy in 2006 and the near-collapse of the U.S. financial system in 2008 essentially stripped the veneer of middle-class prosperity from hundreds of thousands of metro Phoenix families.
It's not just AZ middle class that's in distress. It's the entire American middle class. Or hasn't anybody noticed that there is a full, bloody war being waged against the middle class? When this is said and done - and it will be soon - the US will be no better than China. Just another third-world superpower.
