Here. You do the assembling.

1) From James Pethokoukis: “The Obama Boom”: disposable income adjusted for inflation fell 0.1% in Sept., after -0.3% in July, -0.4% in August.
2) From Rush Limbaugh: Entry into the “Top 1%”? $343,000 annual salary.

    Are you trying to say everyone’s income is falling, even the income of the wealthy? I don’t believe it, because Obama told me the rich are getting richer, and he wouldn’t lie.

    Postlibertarianism? The Predillusionary? Epoch of Maggots? The Sociodemocidali? The Mendacitorian?

    Actually, I am kind of partial to “The Mass Wealth Extinction Event”, per #8. “Leviathan Unbound” ain’t too bad either.
