It's 90 years later....and no improvement to the depth of wealth distribution in the US....maybe it's even worse....now, since the "have nots" had access to cheaper medical care and weren't able to obtain credit card debt and no downpayment mortgages on property plummeting in value......

Today's Must Read: was there ever such a coy witness as CIA general counsel-designate John Rizzo?
