But...but....but....but people like Krugman and Cone say we're ALL totally screwed!

So how can THIS possibly be true?

Noteworthy:

"Linked to the current mood, commentators often depict an embattled and shrinking middle class, with sharply rising financial inequality. However, globally, this is simply not true. One of the most startlingly positive phenomena for many generations continues to unfold around the world. We are in the middle of an explosion of the world’s middle class."

  1. I am quite certain that when Americans desire for their politicians to support the middle class, they are thinking of the American middle class. But, nonetheless, let's see the right argue that current economic polices are good because, even though the American middle class is suffering, the middle class is growing in China and India. That's a winner.

  2. I am the middle class and am not suffering.I associate daily with several hundred middle class folks and in a week probably more and so far I haven't heard any of them complain. Complaining must be a disease of the left. Guess those of us who make things happen rather than those who wait for things to happen are doing right well.

    Actually roch you claim is totally skewed. The middle class is actually growing to the upper class and those in the lower class who as I stated above are now moving into the middle class. Becoming middle class is not something easily done. It can only be done by making things happen. Those who wait, fail. Those who sit and "HOPE" for something to happen will be sitting there in the same hole and still hoping when cows fly.
    You can claim otherwise all day but you can't dispute what I said.

  4. Prove it. Says Roch

    No you disprove it. You are the one who claims that the middle class is being screwed. You prove to me that they are. So far all I have is your word and being middle class and dealing with middle class daily, I call BS on your statement.
