Two things interesting about your post: chervilant Jan 2015 #10

recovery . what recovery. the only ppl who have recovered is the rich allan01 Jan 2015 #11

Ultimately this is where the real dissatisfication with Obama lies. EndElectoral Jan 2015 #12

Don't worry. Vote for Hillary. She will fix this. L0oniX Jan 2015 #14

Aww, heck, just vote for someone self-id'd as a Democrat. Problems solved. n/t jtuck004 Jan 2015 #16

Wow. That makes it so clear. Bookmarked, recommended. Autumn Jan 2015 #17

I wish that ridiculous articles/studies like this hfojvt Jan 2015 #18

Agreed. One of the central things missing in this study is a comparison to previous recoveries stevenleser Jan 2015 #24

From EPI's nonpartisan study, you'll see inequality is back at levels not seen since the late 1920s RiverLover Jan 2015 #25

OP posits that this recovery is somehow different from others. That is what I am addressing. stevenleser Jan 2015 #26

I don't see that "posit" in the OP. nt RiverLover Jan 2015 #27

If that's not what you are positing, than the OP is completely meaningless. That's your choice... stevenleser Jan 2015 #30

Whatever helps you sleep at night. Blinders always help. RiverLover Jan 2015 #34

Having all the data and knowing I am right and didn't write a nonsensical OP helps me sleep. nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #37

The problem with this alleged recovery is not Jackpine Radical Jan 2015 #58

There is no recovery for me, I still haven't recovered from the 1st Bush recession. TheKentuckian Jan 2015 #43

People said the same about every single previous recovery. dating back to the 1930s. stevenleser Jan 2015 #45

"If one things about why that is, it becomes obvious." = pls explain ND-Dem Jan 2015 #28

I'll let you think about it some more to see if you can get it. Hint, all recoveries work this way. stevenleser Jan 2015 #31

i couldn't which is why i asked ND-Dem Jan 2015 #32

Walk yourself through it. You will get there. nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #39

So it sounds like you're a "trickle down" theory kind of guy, if you think the rich must recover RiverLover Jan 2015 #40

Nope, I'm not.nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #41

I have brain damage. Why not just answer the question ND-Dem Jan 2015 #42

Why should I put forth the effort to explain it if you won't put forth the effort to understand it? stevenleser Jan 2015 #44

I have post-meningitis brain damage. I'm not kidding. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #47

OK, lets use the example of an FDR type effort at a recovery... stevenleser Jan 2015 #48

Is the answer they spend them at giant corporations so therefore inequality rises? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #52

No. They spend them on food at the grocery store, on clothes at the clothing store, and stevenleser Jan 2015 #53

so that's why inequality is rising ND-Dem Jan 2015 #54

Correct, during a recovery, that's why inequality is increasing more than it normally might... stevenleser Jan 2015 #55

got a link for your claim? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #56

You need one? Are you actually disputing that? nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #57

Seems to me your claim is equivalent to saying inequality always rises, not just in recovery. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #59

No, that's not what I am saying. My posit is specifically regarding the beginning of recoveries. stevenleser Jan 2015 #61

I didn't say you said it. I said what you did say is equivalent to that. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #63

No, it isn't. First you tell me you can't figure stuff out, then you tell me what my words mean as stevenleser Jan 2015 #64

you said, during a recovery ordinary people get some money and turn around and spend it ND-Dem Jan 2015 #66

Because you have nothing but want to argue anyway, that's why. TheKentuckian Jan 2015 #50

Sure I do, and it's obvious. See my 48. If you can't figure this out, you have no business stevenleser Jan 2015 #51

There isn't one TheKentuckian Jan 2015 #46

Of course there is, and it's obvious. See my #48 nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #49

The Democrats are not left enough. n/t Comrade Grumpy Jan 2015 #35

That's not what I said. nt stevenleser Jan 2015 #36

it's not? ND-Dem Jan 2015 #71

ridiculous why? pls explain. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #29

there are fifty ways to leave your lover hfojvt Jan 2015 #60

That's not the title, just for starters. This is the title: ND-Dem Jan 2015 #62

way to jump on something irrelevant for starters hfojvt Jan 2015 #65

you're the one who jumped on the title, and commented on it like you were refuting some claim ND-Dem Jan 2015 #67

I would think a Nodakian hfojvt Jan 2015 #69

the 1% are very real, not legendary. you seem to have a vested interest. ND-Dem Jan 2015 #70

Ill take it, though treestar Jan 2015 #33
