Well, I have just made my calculation of the end of the year financial results.\u00a0 Comparing this to year end 2008, our net worth is up 90%.\u00a0 Obama’s term in office has been pretty good to us.\u00a0(For nefarious people who might be reading this, let me add that very little of our net worth is at our home. \u00a0 Most of it is safely tucked away in the “bank”.)<\/p>\n
I am worried about the welfare of the other 90% of the income earners below us that have not made progress at all or who have even lost ground.<\/p>\n
We can pat ourselves on the back for having elected President Obama, twice.\u00a0 We can also be very concerned that the gains have been limited to the top 10% of income earners. Should we be surprised that the enthusiasm of 90% of the voters is not as great for President Obama as it once was.\u00a0 Of course The Secret Lists that Swiped the Senate<\/a> might have had something to do with the lower turn-out for Democrats in the last election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Well, I have just made my calculation of the end of the year financial results.\u00a0 Comparing this to year end 2008, our net worth is up 90%.\u00a0 Obama’s term in office has been pretty good to us.\u00a0(For nefarious people who might be reading this, let me add that very little of our net worth is […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[166],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-19188","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-stevegsposts","7":"czr-hentry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19188","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19188"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19188\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19201,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19188\/revisions\/19201"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19188"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19188"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ssgreenberg.name\/PoliticsBlog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19188"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
