AKA we need the economic system to collapse in order to start the game over.
For the middle class they need to have a fundamental shift in ideals. They need to stop financing stuff and demand that car companies make cars that are more affordable. They need to stay out of debt and buy houses that are normal and reasonable. Maybe this housing collapse is the start of it as prices are dropping down to where they are affordable again.

But without some kind of sea change the middle class is screwed.
