America’s affordability crisis isn’t just a headline — it’s the defining political and economic battle of our time. In this episode of New Frontiers, Paul Johnson sits down with Henry Thompson and Bob Robb to uncover the real reasons why life is becoming harder to afford for working Americans.

Topics Discussed in Video:

- How Democrats won recent elections on affordability while offering no real solutions

- Why inflation feels worse than the numbers show

- Why independents may be the only path out of political and economic dysfunction

- Housing, energy, and water crises that are about to explode in states like Arizona
