No escape from B-52

Editorial: U.S. household wealth back to 1989 level | masslive.com

Median household income – the point at which half earn more, half less – stands today right where it was in 1989.… 

After nearly a quarter of a century – through the roaring 90s, past Y2K, into the languorous new millennium, beyond the greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression and right on through to today’s so-called recovery – we are right back where we were when the B-52s’ “Love Shack” was beaming from car radios across the land.

(No word about 1989 prices either.)
