2) If only the rich are getting richer, it wouldn't show up in the median data.
1) What?

eta: As for blaming it on Bush, I previously posted that this trend has been going on for ~30 years, but has become more pronounced in the last ~6 years. There is a debate about why this is, and people point to a number of facts, none of which seems to be dominant.

2) Exactly. Median income is down. People at the top are making a heap more.
