Since the recovery began only about 20% of the new jobs created have been middle income jobs. About 20% of them have been higher paying jobs and about 60% of them have been lower paying jobs.
There are a ton of people out there that lost a job that they could live a decent life on and have had to take a job that makes much less.

I was watching Jon Stewart a couple weeks ago about this subject, he was the one that kept bringing up that the new jobs generated were lower paying jobs, where other fields were losing jobs that paid higher wages.
This country has not been expanding on better paying jobs like it should. But hey, walmart is doing fine......

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
