Income inequality: It wasn’t always this way
In recent decades, the bulk of income growth in America has gone to the top 10% of families, but that was not always the case. Throughout most of the 20th Century, the bottom 90% claimed a much larger share of income growth than they have in recent years.
Between 1948 and 1979, a period of strong overall economic growth and productivity in the United States, the richest 10% of families accounted for 33% of average income growth, while the bottom 90% accounted for 67%. The overall distribution of income was stable for these three decades. In an extreme contrast, during the most recent economic expansion between 2000 and 2007, the period that led up to the Great Recession, the richest 10% accounted for a full 100% of average income growth.

Anyone else watch the travesty unfold in the Senate yesterday. U.N was over paid billions by our government. The Senate voted to not ask for the money back.
Can you say “Double Talk” ? Most senator are quick to note we are close to 15 trillion dollars in debt NOW and must cut everything but are unwilling to recoop
the over a Billion dollar over payment. Anyone else see jabber jawing here?
Come on 99ers lets keep fighting… Bless congress woman LEE! There has to be some Republicans that will back her up! The lord knows how hards its been for us. Lets all pray to the lord and await a fast and good report!
I am doing what I am able to help this bill. Im one of the 99ers so I know how hard it is especially here in Oregon. Seems like no work exist for anyone over age 55 anymore. We are capable.

3.9 Million Americans Ran Out Of Unemployment Benefits In 2010: Report
Last year, 3.9 million Americans ran out of unemployment insurance benefits, according to a new analysis provided to HuffPost by the National Employment Law Project.
Those 3.9 million are not necessarily still unemployed, and not all of them are necessarily “99ers” — people who exhausted the maximum 99 weeks of benefits currently available in 25 states — but the number offers a dramatic reminder that the longest-ever unemployment lifeline is still not long enough for some Americans to climb out of the deepest jobs hole since the Great Depression.
