"It's certainly going to take a while for people to recover,"

Well golly gosh - they got into that position by being poor don't you know?

The first data from the census is showing up. For you republicans who like to think that we are being overrun with an influx of new illegal immigrants - well not so. They are on the decline. For those who think extreme poverty isn't an issue, guess again. Those living on less than 1/2 the poverty income level went to the highest percentage in recorded history (6.3%). There are some other bad numbers here. Read it.

I'm so very tired of the Hannitys and other rabid right talking heads still clinging to the notion that talking about income disparity is "class warfare". It is what is going on that is class warfare. We went from a compassionate society to a 'winner take all' society and it stinks.
