Seems to me that in both cases - mean and median averages - income is up in 2012 compared to 2007. Of course, this does't fact in 2013.
Keep in mind that while our economy should be the number one concern the Republican party is doing everything it can to fight the President on every issue possible - this morning they announced they were considering sueing him.

From the link I posted if you had bothered to read
For the inflation-adjusted mean, family income fell from $87,312 in 2007 to $82,843 in 2012, the most recent year available. That?s a drop of $4,469, making Portman correct. In fact, he underestimated a bit.
The difference is even more stark if you use the inflation-adjusted median. By that measure, family income dropped from $67,943 to $62,241 over the same period. That?s a drop of $5,702 -- an 8.3 percent decline over five years.

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
