Growing the economy "from the Middle Class out" was a new way of talking about it & I found it

to be a very helpful way of thinking about what Obama/Biden are trying to do, especially for how it seemed to imply that the role of "job creators" would be located within the middle class.

Joe Biden used his hands to accent this metaphor when he spoke of it with passion in his voice. I thought it one of the most effective moments of the debate.
