Someting you won't hear at the RNC

Sure, you'll hear a lot of people this week proclaiming that everything bad ever is the Democrats' fault, but take a look at these numbers before you decide who to vote for this November: (via dailykos)

Change, real median household income (2003 adjusted dollars)

Bush II: -$1,535

Clinton: +$5,489

Bush I: -$1,314

Change, number in poverty

Bush II: +4,280,000

Clinton: -6,433,000

Bush I: +6,269,000


Here is the source for these numbers, the Census Bureau.

Sould this story get any traction, look for the Republican noise machine to immediately put forth autoritative sounding evidence that te Census bureau is partisan.
