Economic Perspectives from Megan McArdle and Glenn Reynolds
So I will concur with Democratic economists to the extent that in many cases, Joe Average does not feel better off than he would be in 1970. But I disagree that this reflects reality. If Joe Average actually had to go back and live in 1973, he’d suddenly feel a lot worse off . . . even if we let him take his VCR and cell phone.
Hat-Tippee Instapundit’s response:
MEGAN MCARDLE says that things are getting better for working people in lots of measurable ways.
And people will start measuring them, as soon as there’s a Democrat in the White House.
