[lbo-talk] LBO 122 and coffee up my nose

[Michael Pollak]

While we're on the subject of LBO 122, I loved the summing paragraph to 
your income and poverty survey (which is great as always):

So we've got downward mobility for over 90% of the population, a level of 
inequality unseen in a century, scores of millions without health 
insurance -- and little prospect for any of this improving in the 
conceivable future.  Yet we have a president who seems more interested in 
courting Republicans and subsidizing Wall Sreet than in doing anything 
serious about social rot, and a polity that seems pretty much OK with 
that.  In fact, about the only people in the streets are out to protest a 
creeping socialism that exists only in their peculiar minds.  What a 
country.
