Graph of the day


(courtesy a much smarter, economics-savvy friend). It's income growth by income level across four years of an average Republican president vs. Democratic president, and is truly compelling evidence that there is a great deal of daylight between the two parties regarding income disparity. More. Especially notable is that "the same pattern prevails even when a Republican president is succeeded by another Republican." Sobering.

Hey Katie,

This is Mansij...whats really interesting and cool about this graph is that even under a republican president those who have higher incomes still have less growth in their salary than with a democratic president.

Guess we aren't so bad for the economy after all :)
