Obamaville – the rich are richer, the poor are poorer


OK, this is so simple, even I understand it.

US Stock Market at Record Highs

OK, I know that many of you would rather hide under the covers and read Batman comics with a flashlight rather than talk about the New York Stock Exchange. But, really, it has recovered all of the catastrophic losses it incurred during the Banking/Home-Mortgage Meltdown in 2008+, and is now even higher than ever before in history. I hope that this has made your retirement accounts fatter, but the real beneficiaries are the high-flying financial traders and hedge fund managers whose income has 7 or 8 or 9 digits. Heck, being the CEO of Goldman-Sachs is a prerequisite for being the White House Chief of Staff.

US employment rate and wages stagnate

OK, this is you and me, Joe Six-Pack. For the entire time under O, unemployment and wages have gotten worse. It seems that banks and stock market traders got the lollipop, and all we got is the wet stick.
