Family budget feeling pinched recently? There's a good reason. The Washington Post reports that the median household income of American families is the same as it was in 1989. Not to put too fine a point on it, that means that Americans have lost 25 years of economic growth. Gone. 25 years. So when the pols celebrate the recovery - Happy Days are here again! - pull out this little nugget and remind them what they have really done to us. And this is before Obamacare really starts to hit.
