Who's the Brick in the Wall?.......................from Rico

To badly paraphrase Pink Floyd, "you don't need no education..." This is THE reason why US Government-run schools do NOT teach about inflation, the difference between 'real' and 'nominal' or for that matter, critical thinking. - The sheeple are needed to be bricks in the wall, unable to figure out just how badly they are being screwed-over. Case in point. Real median income has fallen in the US by 7% since 2000, but the 'official' government story (and the 'official' government numbers) is that incomes have risen by 28% since 2000. - Riiiiiight. THAT must be what everyone is experiencing! But, if the 'recession' is really over like the government claims, then WHY is the 'real' median income 4% lower since the recession ostensibly ended? - And how could most US households now have LESS annual income than they did 13 years ago? I'm just asking....before we move 'forward' to that pesky "thought control" bit in Pink Floyd's lyrics (ref infra). BTW, socialism is like taking the escalator up to the express elevator so you can take a very fast trip down to the basement.
