If you weren't so dumb, you'd make more money
That's what our Treasury Secretary John W. Snow said today:
"The idea there is to explore the things that produce broad-based prosperity," he said of the meeting's purpose. "One of the things we know is that less educated people have seen their incomes and wages grow more slowly. That's what the numbers tell us.
"So that points you in the direction of greater emphasis on education," he told reporters, adding that savings rates among low-income Americans are also lagging.
Savings is at an all time low. And no one other than business is feeling the growth. That's why so many average Americans feel so dissatisifed with the economy today.
Of course, Republicans see nothing wrong with that and feel the economy is doing well.
So ask youself which side you're on.
