Greg, that was a great explanation and I believe all of it. You can "color" or "paint" stats to tailor whatever agenda or POV you are trying to get across and I dont care what this administration is saying about the economy, Im living proof that its awful and hits the middle class and the poor very hard. Hard enough that I, as a middle classer, am feeling it hard.
