American Dream Isn’t Dead, but It Needs Help
The American dream looms large in the nation’s psyche. Immigrants flock to our shores to make a better life for themselves, free of the chains that bound them in their countries of origin.
Native-born Americans also can achieve the American dream through hard work and determination.
But recently, many have come to view that dream as unattainable. Some view the system as broken and demand massive changes to fix it.
To Adam Brandon, president of FreedomWorks and author of the new book “America in Perspective: Defending the American Dream for the Next Generation,” that’s a huge problem for the nation’s continued survival.
“We’ve gone through incredibly challenging times, and this is part of our national history. And people forget that you go through these times,” Brandon says, adding:
What’s scary to me right now, there’s all this debate [over] do we get rid of the [Senate] filibuster? Do we do this? Do we do that? Now, these are radical changes, and in my study of history … you could actually make some changes that will knock out the stability in our system, and who knows what we are then.Brandon joins the “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the American dream and how we can bring it back from the brink.
