Economic Reality for the bottom 95%

By Fester:

Today's New York Times:

For the first time on record, an economic expansion seems to have just ended without most families having received a raise. For the first time on record, the typical home price nationwide is falling. The inflation-adjusted value of the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index has dropped 20 percent in the last year — and 30 percent since its peak in 2000.

I think the public has called this issue exactly right: the American economy has some real problems.
