The hold on evictions has sunset, the extra unemployment help has expired, and far too much COVID-19 bailout money went to companies and corporations instead of Americans. The middle-class that Republicans claim to support so fully has now reached the end of their rope, and the GOP’s focus has shifted from the coronavirus stimulus to passing through a new Supreme Court Justice.

The Wall Street Journal walked through the way in which the pandemic has wreaked havoc on Americans who are now so far in debt as a result of the crisis that the fear they’ll never come out of it.

Alysse Hopkins was a successful attorney who made a comfortable living, but now, she fears she “will never claw my way out of this situation.”

“It frustrates me to not be able to earn a living,” she explained. “I have a law degree, almost 20 years of practice.”
