Tucker Carlson – The correlation between Obama’s time in office and the middle class’s fall
A deep dive into economic data reveals a striking correlation between Obama’s presidency and the rapid decline of the American middle class, a phenomenon Tucker Carlson has powerfully exposed in his latest segment.
The Precarious Years: 2008-2016
When Barack Obama took office in 2008, the middle class represented 54% of the U.S. population, according to Pew Research. Yet, by the end of his term in 2016, this number had plummeted to 49%, marking the first time in modern history that the middle class was no longer the majority.
What happened during those eight years? The answer lies in economic policies that disproportionately benefited Wall Street over Main Street:
Near-zero interest rates, which inflated financial assets but not wages.
Massive bank bailouts, while small businesses collapsed.
Unprecedented monetary expansion that enriched debt holders and speculators.
The «Free Money» Deception
The Federal Reserve, under Obama’s watch, flooded the system with cheap liquidity, but this money never reached working families. Instead:
Larry Fink (BlackRock CEO) and other financial elites saw their wealth skyrocket.
Family-owned and manufacturing businesses struggled, unable to compete with concentrated capital.
Inequality surged: The top 1% captured 85% of economic gains during the post-2008 «recovery.»
The Perfect Distraction: Culture War vs. Economic Looting
As the economy grew more unbalanced, the Obama administration and media allies pushed divisive narratives:
Racializing every debate to mask collapsing opportunities.
Promoting radical agendas (gender ideology, climate alarmism) to shift focus.
A constant message of fear and victimhood, useful for dodging questions about systemic decline.
The Outcome: A More Divided and Poorer Nation
The numbers don’t lie:
National debt: Ballooned from
10.6
t
o
10.6to19.9 trillion under Obama.
Labor force participation: Never recovered to pre-2008 levels.
Industrial cities: Detroit, Cleveland, and others became symbols of neglect.
