Summary

On this episode of "The Federalist Radio Hour," Oren Cass, chief economist at American Compass, joins Senior Elections Correspondent Matt Kittle to discuss the "American Reality." For years, the elite ruling class has sold the public a version of the "American Dream," but as it turns out, the dream of the average American is not the dream politicians have for us. Cass explains how recent polling on the "American Dream" should serve as an impetus for out-of-touch politicians to wake up.
