from Politically Georgia · host The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Patricia Murphy and Tia Mitchell talk with CNN anchor and chief domestic correspondent Phil Mattingly about Priced Out in America, his series examining the structural pressures behind rising housing, health care and child care costs. Mattingly explains why strong economic indicators often fail to reflect the financial strain many families feel and why neither party has a simple answer.
