An excerpt

…The upper price range of the housing market continues to outperform the overall housing market.

    Dating back to at least 1980 Reaganomics, Americans have been patiently waiting for “trickle-down” to kick in.

    It seems like the rising tide (positive GNP growth) only floats yachts while all the other boats get swamped under the waves.

    For most of us “trickle down” has actually meant “trickled on.”
    I guess you are right, it is only rhetorical.
    I am so pissed I want to “trickle back”, but I’m supposed to be professional. We should tell our kids, “Whatever you do, join something other than the US middle class if you get a chance.”
