Economic Report: Working Family Economic Reality In A Nutshell - 07/28/06

By Doug Cunningham

The real American economy is the working family economy. Real wages in this economy are dropping. Median household income is down for five straight years. Health care costs soaring with fewer employers offering health insurance, pensions are being wiped out, and inflation is up. Gasoline prices through the roof, job creation isn’t keeping up with population growth and the jobs that are being created pay less than those being lost. That’s the view from the kitchen table and that’s the economic reality U.S. working families face.

1. i think just about everyone is facing crunch time except for the
elite. America is lost. We won't be a country 50yrs from now. States are going to get pissed and say forget the gov't they don't know what's best.
