The Economy is Doing Great

Not only is the war in Iraq going great, so is the economy. See the graphic: median household incomes, 1999-2005 (from Census Bureau). Ask most any Republican congressman.



UPDATE: Turns out this map is wrong. That's what I get for believing a newspaper though. The correct figures can be found here. Kevin Drum provides an analysis here. Still lots and lots of red ink.

What do you mean? if you live in Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, Rhode Island, or Washington DC you're probably making more now than a year ago!

I wonder if the increase in DC has anything to do with the payraises our "representatives" vote to give themselves every year?
