Signs that the American middle class is on it's death bed. Some say that Trump will help... yes, he will speed up the demise.

'And according to the Fed, an astounding 47 percent of all Americans could not come up with $400 to pay for an emergency room visit without borrowing it or selling something.

A 2014 Bankrate survey, echoing the Fed’s data, found that only 38 percent of Americans would cover a $1,000 emergency-room visit or $500 car repair with money they’d saved.

51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year according to the Social Security Administration.

46 million Americans use food banks each year

$400 doesn't even cover just walking through the emergency room doors.

Who doesn't have 400 dollars? That's pathetic. This isn't 1964.

Thanks to liberal policy of open doors immigration , NAFTA, China trade policy, Pac Rim trade, and repeal of Glass-Steagle.

Not that the republicans have been stellar, but the dems have sold the nation out.

We need to ditch both parties and support nationalists like Trump.

If the average person doesn't have $400... who do I blame? The person or the government enabling this behavior?

How about the $900 to ride in an ambulance that is not covered, but with the Platinum plans.

I can believe it, I have a friend who is a disabled veteran, I know for a fact that he doesn't have $400 to fix his truck. He is a single dad.
