On that note, I've been waiting for Club to address yesterday's economic news -- an unprecedented two-year income decline for Americans.

The problem with the figures is that they don't seem to explain what portion of that decline is due to two things:
1) Lower value of stock options
2) Decreased capital gains income, both from fewer increased-value stocks and losses (starting in April 2000) used to offset gains.
If nothing else, it goes to show how much of a bubble was created during the Clinton years.
