'But after 2000 something changed. The pace of productivity growth has been rising again, but now it seems to be lifting fewer boats. Even in a country that tolerates inequality, political consequences follow when the rising tide raises too few boats. The impact of stagnant wages has been dulled by rising house prices, but still most Americans are unhappy about the economy According to the latest Gallup survey, fewer than four out of ten think it is in 'excellent' or 'good' shape.

Find a right winger who saw the house of cards casino economy as unsustainable five years ago and i got a bridge to sell you. Of course not including McMannis one of the few real educated refined southerners who spent most of his time on housing and credit bubble boards worrying about other things than the unbridled optimism at the end of six years of a total conservative free market unregulated credit juiced ownership society.

They refuse to see what an incredible joke his entire presidency was..........from his ridiculous adventure in Ira to the anemic quality of his economic recovery to his incompetent handling of Katrina. They fervently believe history will look kindly on him.

The truth is wingers are not as advanced as the rest of us. That's a real problem.

Appropriately, here's bentway's short story I told you about:
