Next week on the Exchange, we begin with a look at the issue of class in this country and why some say that “American dream” of rags to riches is more elusive than ever. Then, the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, as a national conversation begins over base closures; we’ll discuss the possibility of Portsmouth being on that list. We'll look at the mortgage market and then end week with the debate over the latest iteration of a constitutional amendment on Education Funding. Join us all next week for the Exchange each morning at 9/and again at 8 pm, here on NHPR!
