RFK Jr.: ‘I’m Seeing People Very Worried in this Country About the Deterioration of the Middle Class’

EXCERPT:

KENNEDY JR.: “And I was disappointed in the Republican debate because nobody was really — they played this as kind of an homage at the beginning of the debate. But nobody really hit on these issues that I’m seeing. I have constituencies that are supporting me that are overlapping with a lot of the Republicans. You know, I go across the political spectrum. I’m seeing people very worried in this country about the deterioration of the middle class, and the despondency, the grief, the desperation. I have seven kids, in an age range between — essentially, between 20 and 30. Almost none of their friends own homes. And they don’t expect to. The price of housing in this country has gone from $215,000 two years ago to $400,000 today. And the interest rates have gone up from 1 point to 7 points. And that means that houses are 10 times expensive. Why is that happening?”
