Um, yeah guys...dose of reality. The middle and lower classes always have to scrape...always have. Sometimes that is because they just don't make enough wage to make ends meet, sometimes it is because they spend beyond their means.
To measure the economy by how the lower half is doing is the same as measuring it by how the millionaires are doing.
I'm simply saying that even in the greatest economy imaginable you will find people who are just scraping by.
Instead of blaming Bush or whoever for people who are not doing well, how about looking at WHY they aren't doing well?
Moneyguy mentions the rust belt folks. Newsflash. The rust belt has been in decline for decades. They used to be the center of automobile and heavy factory work. Guess what? US Automakers are downsizing. US factories are being out competed by foreign suppliers. The rust belt needs to take a hard look at how their people make their money and try to modernize. It ain't the economy's fault.
