On that graph Rachel Maddow displayed

[UnrepentantUnitarian]

I looked for earlier posts on this, but didn't see any at first glance. Last night Rachel showed a graph comparing job-loss in 1990, after 9-11, and now. I don't remember the source but it was very impressive...or troubling. I wish it could be reproduced and used widely in the next few days. It would effectively mute all of those Republicans who think that tax cuts are the way to solve this economic problem. Do any of you know the source of that graph? Frankly I think every Democratic member of congress should have a copy to display...as a poster maybe...especially when they go in front of the cameras.

1. OK now I see it...

There's another thread that has a YouTube video that includes it...around minute 2. Worth looking at folks!

3. Thanks, wuvuj!

I think it should be shoved in the face of every "tax cuts, government can't solve this" Republican...every one of them.

4. Next month - off the charts

What will be the tipping point for the average wage-earner American?
I can feel tension building in SE Florida already.
If we don't see some sign of economic justice soon, I think we're in for some serious discontent.
One big problem is that there is are very few people who understand why we're throwing money at banks.
The simple answer is "to loosen up credit markets". But:
1) That's not happening
2) WHo care? Who wants to borrow anything anyway?
3) There's little demand with job uncertainty and job lose at an all-time (for our generation) high.

So, once again, why are we pouring billions into businesses run by billionaires?
