Even though reports show that the U.S. economy is doing well, four in ten Americans are struggling to pay for everyday basic needs.  Groceries, housing, utilities, healthcare and food are becoming too expensive for the average 
American.  The "Urban Institute" expected to find hardships among the poor, but didn't expect that middle class families would also be struggling.  Wages aren't keeping up with costs.  (Things are only going to get worse as the president's tariffs take their toll.  Only the rich will be able to afford any of these things).
