#3 The fed decided to keep the foot on the gas today. What could go wrong with continuing such a successful program to bring the economy back to normal growth.

#6 This bit surprised me more, from WaPo:

In 1989, the median American household made $51,681 in current dollars (the 2012 number, again, was $51,017). That means that 24 years ago, a middle class American family was making more than the a middle class family was making one year ago.

This isn't a lost decade for economic gains for Americans. It is a lost generation.
