Since the Depression, that gap had been fairly modest until the last several years before the gap exploded open. All this money has just been hoarded or passed along to more of the super-rich...a disproportionately small amount of it is being invested in tangibly strengthening companies and communities here at home or being used to reward hard-working middle-and-lower class workers or improving their benefits and environments. It's been cuts cuts cuts, and moving jobs overseas to satisfy other super-rich investors and to get more executive bonuses.

You know, I talked to a man 4 years ago, (this thing really started about 2 years ago) and he told me exactly what was going to happen.
He talked about the oil going up and down, people blaming the presidency, the world markets crashing, and every part of this in great detail.
How did he know? well. Take this however you'd like to take it, but he talked about Edgar Cayce predicting an economic decline every 30-40 years in this country.
depression... 1929-1935...
you had the oil crissis in the 70s...
and 2007 you have another crash.
Hm.
Thought it was interesting as well that Edgar Cayce talked about a possible WW3 being fought by something triggered in the middle east.
I looked this guy up... I think he died in.. 1912?

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."
