Household income drops as gap widens
Between 2009 and 2010, the median income of U.S. households fell 2.3 percent to $49,445 — the lowest level since 1996, after adjusting for inflation, the Census Bureau reported Tuesday.
Golly, what party controlled Congress and the Presidency then?
More alarming, perhaps, is the overall poverty rate. The annual report also said the number of families living in poverty rose by 2.6 million, to 46.2 million — the largest increase since the Census Bureau began keeping track 52 years ago.

“It’s bad, real bad,” said Winter, who owns the Collingwood Sub Shop at the Collingwood Auction and Flea Market in Farmingdale. Winter also works the Dogs Gone Wild hot dog stand on Route 66 in Neptune to help out a friend, and most of the people who come to the stand discuss the economy, he said.
“I’m just hearing they can’t pay their bills, there’s no jobs — it’s the same story,” he said...DON'T LET YOURSELF BE CONTROLLED.
