How in the hell can people afford food and cable television let alone

The median income fell in 2010 for the second year in a row to
$26,364, a 1.2 percent drop from 2009, and the lowest level since
1999, according to David Cay Johnston at Reuters.

Where's that from? Last I heard it was in the neighborhood of 54,000.00
a year. That figure was driven up by Wall Street and the Northeast
incomes.


It's a bull**** number, a German/Japanese/labor screwdriver as it were...


Agreed, as it is too politicked with government bull****.

Gross income, how many worked and hours worked -- all uncut without the BS.
