Stagnant Wage Growth and Food Shortages, Coincidence?

Economic reports are saying that real wage growth for Americans has been stagnant and many middle class families are losing ground. At the same time we have a report that southwestern Pennsylvania is a pocket where many people have serious shortages of food. NPR had an interview with economics writer Paul Krugman of The New York Times yesterday who related that the nine year freeze on the minimum wage has seen real wages sink to a level not seen since World War II.

The enormous squeeze on the lower and middle classes is having a serious negative effect. Meanwhile yacht manufacturers and diamond merchants cannot keep up with demand for their goods from the richest 1% who have profited tremendously from Bush's tax policies. We have a class war going on in this country and the numbers back it up.
