Thriving Middle Class?

The President is saying we need a thriving middle class for the country to recover economically…now. Why wasn’t this the mantra 2 years back? Between George W leaving us a socialized Wall Street (that continues to act like pirates) and Obama relying on some really lame economic advisors-many...

What is an Economic Depression?
