Re: Jan. 17 editorial.
This editorial was a response to one of The Postap recent and important stories that reported “the world’s eight richest men are worth the combined wealth of the bottom half of the economic spectrum.” The editorial counteracted this a bit by showing that the people at the bottom have fared a bit better since the Great Recession of 2008-10.
We should give some credit for this improvement to outgoing President Barack Obama, and encourage readers to demand at least the same amount of improvement from incoming President Donald Trump. The situation will be made worse if the Affordable Care Act is repealed without a new medical care program of equal strength.
