ECONOMY/JOE BIDEN: “The middle class is getting crushed. And the working class has no way up as a consequence of that. You have, for example, farmers in the Midwest, 40 percent of them couldn’t pay their bills last year. You have most Americans, if they received a bill for $400 or more, they’d have to sell something or borrow the money.”
