“People in their prime earning years — age 45 to 54 — took the biggest hit in the last years of the Bush Administration, their median income falling by $5,000. And the region that suffered most — the South. Older southern whites — that’s who got hit hardest by the freewheeling decade now fading. They should be angry. But they’re five years too late.”
—Timothy Egan, noting the irony that working-class conservatives of the Tea Party faux movement are only crying foul after the purveyors of their doom have left the building. Of course, those purveyors were overwhelmingly white and Christian — just like them! — so that might have something to do with their continuing failure to observe reality in a timely manner, if ever.
Never leave home without it.
