I mean, DUH! It is like saying the temperatures are going down now that we are entering winter. Of course the poor get poorer! Of course the disparity in incomes grows larger. That's what a recession is all about. I assume when the recession ends and we enter a cyclical boom cycle you will fail to report that the poor got richer and the income disparity shrunk!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
