70% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

 

55% say they are “always” or “sometimes” worried about money.

 

In 2004, half of the renters in Portland spent 30% or more of their income on housing.

 

Instead of taking steps in public policy to protect people from the sharpest edges of our market economy, the U.S. continues to support the greatest amount of economic inequality since the late 19th century.
