The Squeeze: Who's Really Paying the Price for Prosperity

from The Rock of Talk · host Eddy Aragon

Meet Sandra. She works full time. She pays her taxes. She does everything right — and twice a week, she drives to a clinic and sells her blood plasma to cover her electric bill. Sandra isn’t alone. Millions of working Americans are doing the same thing right now, while Wall Street celebrates record highs and another billionaire makes the news for buying a yacht the size of a city block. Inflation gutted your grocery budget. Gas never really got cheap again. AI just took your coworker’s job. And your credit card balance? Higher than it’s ever been. This is not a recovery. This is a slow bleed — and the people at the top aren’t losing a drop. The Squeeze — because somebody has to tell the truth about what’s really happening to middle America. Right here. Right now. Don’t go anywhere.
