The longest, largest, stablest growth in the middle class and the whole countries GDP was from 1935 till 1979. Only in the 80's once we started to end the New Deal reforms did the middle class slide in reverse. Then after the Reagan reforms our debt exploded at the same time in order to keep the economy from going off a cliff.
