These folks, particularly from the Washington Times can write all they want on this issue, get paid for consumption by folks like you. But one thing they deliberately run away from is the question: "If what you say is true, then why did they vote for Obama a second time." Do you mean to say that they are stupid and the author is correct!?!? You know MM, don't come back and harp on shit again and again. The questions we ask are no brainers. And you choose to avoid answering them and gallop to something else.

I looked at the most recent Census Bureau data as analyzed by statisticians from Sentier Research. Last month, Sentier released “Household Income on the Fifth Anniversary of the Economic Recovery: June 2009 to June 2014.” This report found, depressingly, that five years into an “economic recovery,” real median household income “is now 3.1 percent below that of June 2009 when the ‘great recession’ officially ended.” In dollar terms, real median household income fell by $1,698. So much for the Obama claim on Labor Day that “by nearly any measure, the economy is doing better.” Well, actually, for more than half of Americans, their personal financial situation is worse. Why is this surprising to you? It has nothing to do with Keynesian or Obama's economics. It has every thing to do with a surplus of labor and our beloved American corps taking advantage of that surplus.
