22、mericans born in the 1980s are falling behind their parents economically.

He says most U.S. citizens believe that, over time, the amount of money they earn will rise and life will get easier.Alissa Quartz wrote a book about the financial difficulties of Americans.

27、noted that poor schools, a weak housing industry and too many government rules are also to blame.With all these things, and more, partly responsible, what is the solution?
