In this episode, Lynn Scheid explores how decades of misguided economic policies have eroded the American middle class, widened the gap between rich and poor, and left working families struggling to survive. From stagnant wages and rising living costs to corporate bailouts and a rigged financial system, Scheid exposes the root causes of economic inequality and calls for bold reform. With a clear, pragmatic voice, he outlines real solutions—fair wages, tax reform, manufacturing revival, and accountability—to rebuild an economy that works for everyone, not just the elite. America’s future depends on it.
