Original Note:
$2T "in real wealth" is referring to wealth after inflation. Berkeley economists estimate that the average middle class individual lost $34k since March 22', the start of interest rate hikes. Most of this loss is "paper wealth" that is not felt on a day-to-day basis. https://www.bloomberg.com/graphics/2023-bidenomics-middle-class-economic-anxiety-2024-election/
