And then you post lies because the housing market is up and the

stock market is up, and yet you say personal wealth is down 40 % in

the last five years. Since my personal wealth is up over the last

five years , I can not take you seriously.



Dan, it is not quite so simple.





Same applies to a nation. Our total wealth, defined as ability to

I am not saying that the country is doing well, but the original post said personal wealth is down 40 percent over the last 5 years. Not sure how the OP is figuring personal wealth, but I agree with you .It has not changed much. Certainly not down 40 percent .
