So Whose Economy Is Getting Better?

The most disturbing news today isn't that some Congressman yelled at the President during his speech last night. It's that the number of poor people in this country has increased. By a whole percentage point.

That is not good.

Of course, the media, enjoying a little fluff-up between a Congressman no one has ever heard of and President Obama, would rather focus on the 15 minutes of infamy.

But this, this increase in poverty. It's big news. But didn't we know it was coming? Wait till we see the numbers for 2009.
