For that to happen there will have to be at least 65 Democrats in the Senate and 300 in the House, plus a liberal dem in the white house. Preferably more.
In other words we need a federal government like we had under FDR during the depression.
Until that happens, the poor and the middle class are going to be sucking hind tit.

FDR had a huge manufacturing base to play with. That base is no longer
in America. Plus capitalist have design myriad ways to do a lot of work with
fewer and fewer people.
FDR could not do much for the middle class in this time.
