One of the best days of my life was March of 1972. I was eight years old. My father was a crane operator. My mother was a makeup artist. I walked home from elementary school and came through the side door. My grandmother and my mother were ecstatic. In the unfinished basement of our very small house — a washer and dryer from General Electric had just been installed. No more walking to the laundromat. The joy on those two women's faces left a core memory in the eight-year-old version of me that I have never forgotten. We were a blue-collar, economically aspirational family. Half Italian spoken in the house and nobody went to college. But they had aspirations for their kids to go to college. You're going to do your homework. You're going to live the American dream. The washer and dryer was the evidence. And here's why I'm telling you this. We took families like mine — economically aspirational — and over 40 years we made them economically desperational. That's the tragedy. And that's what we have to fix.
