American Dream Isnt Dead, but It Needs Help

Published: July 20, 2022, 7 a.m.

The American dream looms large in the nation\u2019s psyche. Immigrants flock to our shores to make a better life for themselves, free of the chains that bound them in their countries of origin.\nNative-born Americans also can achieve the American dream through hard work and determination.\nBut recently, many have come to view that dream as unattainable. Some view the system as broken and demand massive changes to fix it.\nTo Adam Brandon, president of FreedomWorks and author of the new book \u201cAmerica in Perspective: Defending the American Dream for the Next Generation,\u201d that\u2019s a huge problem for the nation\u2019s continued survival.\n\u201cWe\u2019ve gone through incredibly challenging times, and this is part of our national history. And people forget that you go through these times,\u201d Brandon says, adding:\nWhat\u2019s scary to me right now, there\u2019s all this debate [over] do we get rid of the [Senate] filibuster? Do we do this? Do we do that? Now, these are radical changes, and in my study of history \u2026 you could actually make some changes that will knock out the stability in our system, and who knows what we are then.Brandon joins the \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss the American dream and how we can bring it back from the brink.\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nRep.
