An Interesting Fact
 

In the height of the Great Recession, in July of 2010, just after the Health Care Law passed, the unemployment rate in Washington D.C. was only 6.4%, while the rest of the nation was hovering around 10%.
 
And while housing prices were plummeting around the nation, Washington area home prices were up 9%.

We increasingly live in two Americas--the one that makes the rules, and the one that must obey them.
