Household income fell more in recovery than during recession
Annual median household income is struggling to recover after the most recent recession. Slthough it has gone up from its low in August 2011, it is still 7.2 percent below the December 2007 level.
 
Isn't this one of the things that the new (in Jan 2009) occupant of the WH was supposed to "change"?

The responses center around phrases along the line of "that's spin", "look at this chart over here", and so forth.

They just refuse to accept the reality of the "fail", a word they like to attach to 'all things Conservative', but not about themselves.

1. Isn't that to be expected?

It's not as if everyone was hit all at once when the U.S. plunged into recession. It ripples outward and that's what we saw over the first few years of the recovery - both within median income & unemployment.

So THAT'S why they despise Reaganomics so vehemently. Reagan said "trickle down" when it's really "ripple outward."

Stupid Reagan!

Looks like l0rd 0bama ain't the guy to make collectivism work either.

0bama is 100% complete proof of that great man's thinking.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

What would Winston think of England today....and I wonder if his American half would have any words of advice for us.

Real wages have taken a beating under owebuma. It's probably somehow Bush's fault though.

I'd imagine this would be a result of underemployment due to people taking jobs which are less well paid than what they're qualified to do?

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
