A deep dive into how America’s basic participation costs—housing, healthcare, childcare, transportation, and even staying connected—now consume incomes at levels unimaginable in 1963. Using the original poverty-line logic, a family of four needs nearly $140K just to break even, not thrive. Meanwhile, benefits cliffs trap working families as they try to climb the income ladder, causing many to end up worse off when they earn more. Chris exposes the broken math behind America’s affordability crisis.
