Our Fracturing Middle Class

Robert D. Kaplan writes in The National Interest about declining U.S. willingness to get into foreign wars. Along the way he describes a problematic demographic reality.

[The American] middle class has been fracturing into a smaller upper-middle and a much larger lower-middle, just one or two personal misfortunes away from poverty. This newly emerging stratification will still, I suspect, support a formidable military, but it will be less likely to support military adventures in which the poorer elements of our society end up paying the higher blood price.

Sounds like the Trump Rx, doesn't it?
