This is why nobody believes Obama when he touts our recovering economy: According to a Pew Research Center study, in the first two years of this recovery the mean net worth of households in the upper 7% of the wealth distribution rose by an estimated 28%, while the mean net worth of households in the lower 93% dropped by 4%.
The QEs have helped the rich, the one who can invest in the stock market, and the government, but left high and dry (or should I say low and stuck) the ones who have to work for a living, retired, or on welfare (which includes the unemployment dole) and are more worried about their next tank of gas than which stock is a good deal. For them they have had to borrow, sell, or hock to get along which explains the drop in their net worth.
