[lbo-talk] "Save subprime borrowers, not bloated bankers" by Dean Baker

[Joseph Catron]

Where did you get that number?  The Census Bureau's American FactFinder
shows New York County's median family income (in 2005 inflation-adjusted
dollars) as $65,479, compared to $55,832 for the country as a whole.
Northern Manhattan, if it were a borough, would be poorer than any of the
others, and it contains no small number of toddlers; maybe a few less per
capita than the Upper West Side, but not enough to skew the numbers that
much.
