Net worth of U.S. family drops 40% in 3 years

[Too Tall]

Part of the stupidity surrounding this report is that this is 2012, but the report is for the period 2007-2010. Some partisans just hear "three years" and think it is the three years of Obama's presidency and then hop on a mad horse and run with it.

This is a good way of finding out who actually reads things and who is just an opportunistic partisan hack with a heavy confirmation bias not the slightest bit interested in evidence against their belief system.

Let's see: 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010. That seems like 4 years to me. Two on bush's watch and two on Obama's.

Actually, the stats had to come from the end of 2007 until the end of 2010, which would include 1 year under Bush (2008) and 2 years under Obama. (2009-2010).
