This full-blown affordability crisis is hollowing out the middle class from within. Add years of mass migration of millions of illegal aliens, and the wealth and opportunities once available to the native population have eroded even further. It&#8217;s becoming impossible to ignore that many policymakers in Washington, seemingly aligned with the globalist billionaires, have deliberately waged economic war on America&#8217;s middle class. This is precisely why President Trump rose to power.<\/h2>\n<h2>Two of the core bedrocks of the middle class include homeownership and family formation. These two pillars provide economic stability, social cohesion, and long-term investment that sustain a prosperous and resilient society.<\/h2>\n<h2>Alarm bells have been sounded, and the Trump administration had better be paying attention, because a new chart that shows the estimated percentage of 30-year-olds in the U.S. who are both married and homeowners, spanning from 1950 to a projected 2025, has completely collapsed.<\/h2>\n<h2>The chart was first posted on X by Nathan Halberstadt of New Founding, who stated this is a &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NatHalberstadt\/status\/1951854992995889187\" rel=\"\">critical civilizational problem<\/a>.&#8221;<\/h2>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/jacklawsonbooks.substack.com\/cp\/172933862\">RTWT @ Jack Lawson Books<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-83591 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Gov-Foreign-Mil-Base.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"568\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Gov-Foreign-Mil-Base.png 568w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Gov-Foreign-Mil-Base-300x171.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 568px) 100vw, 568px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-78612 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gov-Free-Men.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"618\" height=\"618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gov-Free-Men.png 618w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gov-Free-Men-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gov-Free-Men-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 618px) 100vw, 618px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-69097 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Govts.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"636\" height=\"636\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Govts.jpg 636w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Govts-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thetacticalhermit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Govts-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"captioned-image-container\">\n<figure>\n<div class=\"image2-inset\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!b6xi!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F633b544a-7450-4647-83b2-f821ebd6c002_760x916.png 424w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!b6xi!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F633b544a-7450-4647-83b2-f821ebd6c002_760x916.png 848w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!b6xi!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F633b544a-7450-4647-83b2-f821ebd6c002_760x916.png 1272w, https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/$s_!b6xi!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F633b544a-7450-4647-83b2-f821ebd6c002_760x916.png 1456w\" type=\"image\/webp\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/picture><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shocking Chart Exposes America&#8217;s &#8220;Civilizational Crisis&#8221;; A Nation In Freefall Without Immediate Course Correction &nbsp; The foundational pillars of the American middle class have been crumbling for decades, crushed under the weight of unaffordable housing, runaway education costs, and the rising price of just about everything.
