12. OK, i'm really intrigued by the bottom one

I don't know exactly what RDI measures... splain pleez? :D

Is this saying, as income goes up, voters are more likely to vote for the incumbent party? But for some reason this relationship declines with increasingly informed voters? :think:


Maybe we should found a DU Dork posse. :D

:loveya:

:hug:


Edit cuz i can't count :dunce:

17. Real Disposable Income
Disposable income is the personal income that is left over after personal taxes are deducted, i.e. income for consumption and savings. Real disposable income is the same income, but adjusted for inflation.

And yeah, pretty much. I found that graph in a google images search, but it is interesting!! :bounce:

21. Just got an email from her, she's out of the hospital
