Analysis of the article "Is the american dream dead?"

The article was written by David Francis in September 2012.

The headline of the article is: β€œIs the American dream dead?”

The article is about the American dream and how it has been questioned. There is a quote from Brian Domitrovic, who is a professor of economic history at Sam Houston state university.

"When you're talking about college kids with $120,000 in debt, nothing like that has been in the landscape before, especially in terms of women," he says. "You're going to spike the impossibility of realizing the dream if you're saddled with that kind of debt coming out the gate.”

He talks about how he believes the main factor that could limit economic mobility is debt, particularly debt in the form of student loans.
