ABC lady just told me that Americans' paychecks are getting bigger.

[Skidmore]

Is that right? She didn't give her source, but if that is true then it things are improving in spite of the Romney/Ryan doom machine rolling into town.

Does anyone know what report or study she could be referring to?

1. The paychecks of the 1% are certainly getting bigger.

Ask Rmoney and his pals.

4. Well, she obviously hasn't seen my paycheck.

Maybe some are getting bigger, but then there's this:

According to a recent survey by The Associated Press, the number of Americans living at or below the poverty line will reach its highest point since President Johnson made his famous declaration of war on poverty in 1964.

Close to 16 percent of Americans now live at or below the poverty line. For a family of four, that's $23,000 a year. On top of that, 100 million of us — 1 out of 3 Americans — manage to survive on a household income barely twice that amount. How is this poverty crisis happening?
