Green shoots, everyone! "The number of U.S. households with a net worth of $1 million or more, not including primary residence, jumped 16% to 7.8 million in 2009 from 6.7 million the year before, according to a report released today by Spectrem Group." While this total is still off 2007's record of 9.2 million, I think we can all agree that stabilizing our financial industries was definitely the right way to go, particularly if we wanted to make sure our focus was on returning hardworking families to the ranks of "millionaire," which apparently it was. USA!

I take it from your tone (among other clues) that you are not on the list.
Maybe by next change bowl.
Maybe that's not so terrible...according to 'The Millionaire Next Door,' most millionaires are cheap bastards you'd never want as a neighbor.
That may be, but it would sure make it easier to get through ten straight days of rain.
Would the contrary be better?
Agree. I'm as populist as the next guy when it comes to disgusting levels of wealth inequality, but it seems to me that we should want to have lots of rich people, rather than very few obscenely rich people. Now we just have to get them to pay some taxes.
Not sure they ever went anywhere.
