Technology doesn't wreck the middle class, but it certainly enables America's corporate bureaucracy to cut as many costly human labor positions as it can.

We could counteract that if invested in our educational system, and I mean really invested in it. Don't just throw money at the problem, but strengthen and expand public institutions of learning. No more student loans and no more financial aid. I'm not necessarily against private schools and universities, but all our current system does for lower-middle-class people is straddle vulnerable people with mountains of debt for a educational experience of questionable quality.
