This Christmas, Americans Can Afford More Toys Than Ever

Quote:
We're wealthier than ever, and we have better stuff. Nevertheless, it seems like capitalism can't catch a break these days. There's a steady drumbeat of economic nostalgia on both the political right and left that cherry-picks statistics to make the argument that Americans were better off 20, 40, or even 70 years ago. And when presented with evidence that many of the things Americans like to buy are getting cheaper, that's somehow a problem too.

There will always be those who want to declare "Bah, humbug!" during the holiday season. But prosperity is the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks, Joe!
