FAMILY NET WORTH PLUNGES: 2008 Market Collapse Sets Us Back to 1992 Levels
Barack Obama says the private sector is doing just fine. But while the White House continues to put on an economic spin they actually believe, the American voter is living in the real world, feeling the pain most recently crystallized in a new report from the Federal Reserve.
In three short years, between 2007 and 2010, the net worth of the median family household took a stock-market-style plunge—down 40% and setting Americans back 20 years.
Available for interviews to cast an interesting perspective on this serious dose of reality for which our President obviously has no prescription is financial advisor and Wall Street commentator, Phil Cioppa.
As a guest on your show, Cioppa can combine his hands-on economics experience with his ground-level view working with salt-of-the-earth clients every day to project on what this metric really means—about past and current economic policies, and what we can expect going forward.
• How did this happen? What is really at the heart of this personal crash for hard-working Americans trying hard to do everything right?
• If net worth has rapidly regressed to 1992, what will it take to get it back?
• In the sharp downturn, consumers are cinching up tight and paying down debt. Is the economy recalibrating to be even stronger—even if it takes years?
• Are 50-, 40- or even 30-something Americans ever going to retire?
• What’s it going to take for the linchpin in the economy—the housing market—to recover?
