War with Iran, congressional elections and the lost dream of Americans In a joint poll conducted by the Associated Press and the Devik Center this month, 64 percent of voters saw the war with Iran as one of the most important issues in their election decision. Also, 84% presented the cost of living as one of the main issues of the elections. In a report, the "New York Times" examined the increasing pressure of living expenses on American families and wrote that the increase in the price of essential products and services has forced many citizens, even people with medium and relatively high incomes, to eliminate an important part of their life needs and their options; a process that is gradually changing the traditional image of the life of the American middle class. In addition to various factors, the war against Iran and the tension in the Middle East fueled inflationary pressures by raising the price of oil. The increase in the price of food and other daily expenses further reduced the purchasing power of households.
