The Decline of the "Middle"

The article titled The Decline of the "Middle", discusses how America's middle class has been getting increasingly smaller. One cause of this problem is higher education. More and more people are either not attending college or dropping out before finishing. On the other hand, applications at prestigious colleges, such as Yale and Harvard, have been increasing. This shows that more people are either going to be in the wealthy class or in the poorer class.
To fix this problem, America needs to get more people into state colleges. The educational system also needs a higher quality of colleges and universities.
