        @WSJ So disposable income is roughly the same despite the global financial crash that happened on Bush's watch? #nottoobad

        @WSJ see the pattern? It's not the effect of ONE president, but the effect of MANY presidents. No matter the party.

        @WSJ Wow. I'm surprised with the economic turndown, @Obama managed to keep real disposable income pretty much unchanged.
