I blame Bush


Actually, the Gini Coeefficent's growth was the slowest under Bush it's been since like... WW2.

Assuming you mean the most recent Bush.

That's one of the flawed things about their numbers.... which they know doubt already know and totally tried to avoid.

They said "No doubt the superrich gained ground on everyone else during the housing bubble."

When in reality the Gini coeffcient shrunk.  They basically took the best numbers for their to portray.  You'd have to think intentionally since they have no problems finding other data past 2007.

During good times Gini coefficents raise, bad times they shrink.
