Abstract: In this paper, we document trends in credit use across income groups in the period surrounding the Great Recession. We investigate trends in access to different credit markets, including mortgages, home equity, automobiles, and student loans. We disentangle growth rates of new market entrants from the aggregates and analyze overall as well as within-county growth rate differentials across income strata. Our findings may provide insight into the financial well-being of different income groups in the context of the Great Recession. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: An essay on the diminishing U.S. middle class is presented. It offers a history of declining middle-income American families from 1971 to 2015 and examines how the U.S. Congress caused shrinkage of the middle class in bipartisan disputes where Democrats speak for benefits of the poor industrial workers while Republicans fight for interests of the rich. The author relates the way political candidates uphold the middle class during campaigns and how they will be true to their word when elected.
