No surprises here

But hey - it's all just "class warfare" right?

Obamanomics at it's finest.

Of course the Middle Class is shrinking. They gave the Presidency to an incompetent Socialist and the Congress for his first two years to the utterly insane Democrat Party.

I knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

Michelle Malkin knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

Glenn Beck knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

Rush Limbaugh knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

Ann Coulter knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

Ayn Rand knew that the Middle Class would shrink if this ever happened.

Most of the Conservative posters here knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

I expect that there are things living in dark hollows deep in the forest that knew that the Middle Class would shrink.

People who helped this happen really ought to be ashamed and never vote again until they grow up.

It refers to the past 11 years.

Obama has only been in office 3 years.

Time and time again, the same crap...
I have seen the right-wing complain about this, ONLY IF they can try to pin it on Obama.

You point out that this started out LONG BEFORE Obama took office, and their notice of the problem disappears...

I've got at least a couple threads pointing this type of stuff out before Obama took office. It's relegated to the "class warfare" response.

You'll notice that they don't even bother to read the facts in your article.
Second sentence in your article. You even bold-faced it for them. But they ignore it...
They just immediately jump to claiming it's Obama fault. Facts are irrelevant to that assumption.

And in that time they've drifted left, elected lo0t of Dem governors, increased the number of Dems in the Congress and elected middle-of-the-road Republicans that we are busily everything from office and hopefully the GOP now.



During the first of those years, employment was generally up, the economy was mostly robust and that was with the burden of two quasi-wars against murderous savages.

As a result an ordinary recession has been turned into a possibly permanent state of poverty.

Whatever you believe though, the economic results of the failed Obama Administration have been pretty much as those of us on the Right predicted. How could it have been otherwise? Our predictions were based in Reality, on history, common sense, and an acceptance of Human Nature.

The Left based their predictions on fantasies and fairy dust.

You do know that we were all there during the years you are trying to explain to us, yes?

And that doesn't make you wonder?...AT ALL?...

Why on earth would they pick such a random and arbitrary number like "11" to determine the number of years for the study?...

To include Bush, of course!...

If they did 3 years like they could've easily done so, it would expose the deterioration of the middle class all on Obama's watch, and we can't have an election based on Obama's record can we?...

So they give you a report on Obama AND Bush so you can't tell if deterioration was consistent through both presidencies or accelerated during one of them...Leaving the reader with unanswered questions...

I guess I'm part of the 8% sited in the study. I'd say they did the majority of it to themselves.

People who's lifestyles are based on how much they can spend on credit, will at some point lose ground when that bill comes due.

And EVERYBODY's net worth dropped. Net worth is the value of your assets minus you liabilities. If you owed money (see line above) and your house values dropped, well, so did your net worth. :rolleyes
