So no explanation for more people owning homes and stocks than ever before in our nation's history?
Have you ever seen the census data on the "poor"? It ranges from 60-75% of them own cars, microwaves, large screen televisions, have air conditioning, a roof over their heads and are fat.
Well, okay, the last part, about their being fat -- I made it up :-)
But honestly, there's no other country in the world where the poor are fat.
And now I have to go; I'm just disgusted with the media which has downplayed the economy for 5 years.
Even in this discussion neither side can agree on which poll supports their position.
If there were "no" polls to turn to, what would be the most principled thing that could be done?
If we cannot agree even on that, we will have more and more problems in 2008.
