The American Dream Reversed: A Generation's Struggle

For the first time in American history, an entire generation is expected to be poorer than their

parents. Not during a war. Not during a depression. During what economists call "economic growth."

Right now, a 25-year-old with a college degree has less purchasing power than their

parents did at the same age with just a high school diploma. The American Dream didn't just fade.

It reversed. And most people are just now realizing what happened. This is the story

of how an entire generation got left behind in plain sight. And why the warning

signs were there all along, but nobody listened. Let's talk about two people.
