Vice President-elect Joe Biden announced Sunday that he will chair a task force charged with determining the status of the middle class — whether it’s growing or shrinking, better or worse off, it will be Biden’s first major task as vice president.
The White House Task Force on Working Families will “look at everything from college affordability to after-school programs — the things that affect people’s daily lives,” Biden said in an interview today on “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.” “I will be the guy honchoing that policy.”

I can save all of them some time, and all of us money, by writing their report now. Biden’s task force will conclude that the middle class is shrinking and that it is worse off. Biden will then propose to help the middle class by having rich people pay for more government programs to help the middle class including paying for their health care, college tuition, new government jobs.
.Wow! I wonder what the budget allocation will be ? No doubt hefty with added travel expenses needed to actually “go to the source” and interview a few typical middle class “folks”.
>>>HAS OB’s administration/crew of advisors ever “settled”on a DEFINITION of WHO (per annual income level) is considered “MIDDLE CLASS”?
>>>IF MIDDLE CLASS IS TIED TO INCOME , what parameters* (if any) will be applied /utilized to alter/classify “distribution of help” provided?
For me , all the talk/promises are fluff until they are specifically defined..Bidens “task force” is a a media dose of snake oil!
(* parameters i.e. single/married/married w/kids/..kids = 0-18/18+ in college/net worth including assessed value of assets such as property,$in the bank or other holdings )
