Toward the beginning of Thursday's Democratic presidential primary debate, the seven candidates went after the current state of the economy, something the President Trump has repeatedly lauded during his presidency.
Former Vice President Joe Biden said that despite the growing economy, the middle class was suffering.
"The middle class is getting killed; the middle class is getting crushed," former Vice President Joe Biden argued. "The working class has no way up, as a consequence of that," he added.
Biden also cited a statistic, saying that 40 percent of the farmers in the Midwest couldn't pay their bills last year.
Pete Buttigieg, Mayor of South Bend, Ind., had similar views regarding the American middle class.
"Where I live, folks aren't measuring the economy by how the Dow Jones is doing, they're measuring the economy by how they're doing," Buttigieg said.

kick out illegals and then plenty more work available too.
And anyone who isn't doing BETTER, under Trump, is.....well, not trying!
Welfare people feel self pity over economy...
Great idea whose time has come, as you said scale back welfare and people will think jobs look good after all.
Problem is people now believe we owe them entitlements instead of feeling embarrassed (as the late great Paul Harvey said).
And people shifted to expecting the Government to take care of all health care needs for them-—a reverse of around 8-10 years ago opinions.
And the age 38 “boys” who still live in mom’s basement playing video games and eating Cheetohs and Dorritos feel fine about it.
Overheard a guy in a store “My father really means it this time, I think. He’s sort of drawn a line that in a couple of months when I turn 35 I have to get a full time job and my own place and move out. This time I think he’s serious.”
We're turning down work where I'm from...
There is no truth in these people.
In my 56 years I have learned that people who lie, lie about everything and, when they accuse, they are projecting their own offenses onto others.
They think everyone is just like them and to lie is simply the means to their selfish ends.
I say, “It’s all fun, until somebody shoots you in the face.”
Rush-bo is right, as usual.
And what party waged war on elimnating the middle class?
The uniparty, which contains EVERY democrat, and the elite republican leadership in congress.
A good positive rise of the traditional American work ethic will help those welfare recipients who are able to work ... help them immensely.
Well said.
His economy works for more people than the Obama economy ever did.
The little people have to suffer for ‘the greater good’.
I remember an old documentary years and years ago. They had a clip of people saying, “We didn’t know that we were poor until Eleanor Roosevelt came around and told we were”. lol
Check out Buttruckers city for a taste of utopia. He makes a better wife than a mayor.
If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you will even come to believe it yourself.

Rush is right, you attack your opponent’s supposed strengths and force them to defend.
But, senile joe biden hasn’t had a real job in his life and is a low IQ individual - good luck with that.
The problem is that welfare often pays much more than an unskilled, uneducated worker can make.
Liberals have a very hard time having a boss.
More jobs than ever in the history of the U. S., says different. Lowest unemployment figures in recorded history for Blacks and Latinos. Lowest unemployment for women in fifty years.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average top 30 stocks stand over 150% higher than they were when he was elected. It’s up over 10,000 points in three years to 28,376.96.
Low inflation...
Not working for everyone? It never will.
This is the best economy in a long long long time.
Joseph Goebbels would be proud of their lies.
