The wealth of the average family in the U.S. is a function of one thing, and one thing only right now: a super-heated real estate market that is fueled by a combination of low interest rates and overpopulation.
It is very handy for a dishonest politician to have this BS statistic to hang his ass-hat on right now, but don't insult us here on the board w/ this crap.
Are there some (temporarily) lucky segments of the population right now? Of course, and there always are. Even in the worst of historical times. The overall economic picture for the U.S., (and the rest of the Western world), is pretty ******* bleak right now unless we get some smarter and less corrupt leadership in place pronto.
