Wage inequality is right on track with what I predicted. The thrives at the top sucks off the profits, the little guys can not get the economy rolling on minimum wages, we buy less products and the thrives only need a few products so we sit in stalemate. I do see lots of room for Congress to govern now, maybe just maybe.

But Obama has done an admirable job faced with the obstructionist assholes he has had to deal with.
And I must give Joe Biden a good pat on the back as well. They make a great team.
