“Obama’s proposals are not strong enough, per se, to undo the very large inequality increase the U.S. has experienced since the 1970s, particularly when it comes to the incomes at the very top. To really make a dent, you would need to consider more radical policies.”
– Emmanuel Saez, University of California at Berkeley economist, in the Washington Post.

Quote of the Day
“The president has never created a job. He’s never even had a real job, for God’s sake.”
– U.S. House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner, stating that President Obama is poorly-equipped to handle the nation’s economic problems.
This, of course, comes from someone whose single career goal is to defeat Obama in this year’s presidential elections, as opposed to – you know – helping create jobs in America.
