DonDiego doesn't understand the question. He never placed blame on anyone.
HINT: Just because a "?" appears at the end of a sentence doesn't necessarily mean that a question is being asked (let alone being asked of you). Occasionally a comment arrives dressed as a question to make a point, not to elicit a response.

I think I have a clue!


And it gets worse if one extends the chart to 2012, . . . and includes the Top5%. [And it looks a lot worse if one charts the percentage-change, instead of the actual income.]



Hint 1: The reason the the TOP5% continues to prosper has something to do with interest rates and asset allocation. And who is responsible for influencing interest rates and why could be the ultimate answer.
Hint 2: There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Sometimes poor old DonDiego is jes' unaware of these new-fangled linguistic trickeries.

Perhaps Chilcoot could adopt some sorta emoticon to alert DonDiego when he's askin' one o' them there RHET-o-rical questions? Otherwise it's a'gonna happin' a'gin.

Just came across this chart today, . . .



It starts at January 2009 and ends at July 2013.

Nowhere does the Constitution either express or imply that the President is granted the ability to provide jobs. Nor does the Constitution grant that ability to the Congress.

The government of the USA makes and enforces LAWS, not jobs, and it does that in response to regular elections, at which both the employed and unemployed are given one vote each.

DonDiego agrees 100%.

But, . . . what exactly is jillyf's point?

Wealthy young jillyf suspects DonDiego isn't much of a reader, since wyj made his exact point quite clear.

Those who go looking for monsters under the bed will always find them. This is the lesson taught by the classic sci-fi film, Forbidden Planet. (Also the contemporary film Apocalypse Now, and several others, but anyway, you know, it's always something… Either drmilled is complaining about unemployment, or Gene Schalit has a big mole). Goodnight Jane.

Ah, . . . HAH!

Umm, . . . what exactly is jillyf's point?

[EDITED TO ADD]

Is Forbidden Planet the one where Leslie Nielsen has to ". . . stay on his toes" ?
