Elizabeth Warren...Gotta love this lady!
The only way that houses could increase or families could increase their household income was to put a second earner into the workforce, and, of course that's now flattened out because there aren't any more people to put into the workforce. So you've got, effectively, flat income in this time period ¿ with rising core expenses; housing; health insurance; child care; transportation, now that it takes two cars to get everywhere, two jobs to support; and taxes, because you've got two people in the workforce and we have a somewhat progressive taxation system.

4. In a sane world, she would be Secretary of the Treasury
And Howard Dean would be Secretary of H.H.S.

5. May I correct you? I think you mean in a world where
Democrats, WON THE LAST NATIONAL ELECTION BY A LANDSLIDE, and have complete control of two out of three branches of government!

We have stepped into that wonderful world of Alice, up is down, left is right, Obama continues two unlawful wars but wins the Peace Prize, (from Publisher's Clearing house?).
