One in four U.S. households is living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to get by, according to a new Bank of America Institute analysis.
More and more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. Do not forget that instead of working with Democrats to address affordability, Republicans spent 54 days on vacation.

Buffalo Springfield, a group that spawned many great artists.
That aside ...
Lyrics excerpt ...
...
[Verse 1]
There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A-telling me I got to beware
[Chorus]
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 2]
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Are gettin' so much resistance from behind
[Chorus]
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 3]
What a field day for the heat (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
A thousand people in the street (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Singing songs and a-carryin' signs (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mostly say, "Hooray for our side" (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
[Chorus]
It's time we stopped
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life, it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
[Chorus]
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going
We better stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

OK, back in the day, over a half-century ago, that song was a rallying song for the crowd I was in.
But I did not really realize the significance of the song in view of the light of the current time until I went to genius.com and posted the lyrics.
There's this ...
...
[Verse 4]
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life, it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away

That's where the Country is now.
Going shopping, and you and your 1-year-old child are pepper sprayed for no reason?

Yeah, maybe that Buffalo Springfield song was more prescient than I had given it credit for.
