Gut Check: Send in your questions

As our reporters work on our next Gut Check America assignment — the financial squeeze on the middle class — here's another opportunity for you to get involved. Msnbc.com has assembled a panel of experts to answer your questions about why readers are feeling the pocketbook pinch and offer opinions on what can be done.

Use the e-mail submission form below to send in your questions. Our editors will pick the best ones to pass on to our experts. The results will be published in mid-October along with the rest of our reporting on the economic pressures faced by average Americans and the sacrifices they are making to preserve their standards of living.

We also can still user your help in putting a human face on this issue.
