Cancer Couple

We, David and Jana, were diagnosed with cancer within an 11 day period in 2010. What a surprise! I have mesothelioma, and Jana has chronic myelogenous leukemia, and this blog chronicles our experiences with these diseases. To get started, first take a look at the back stories on right below. Most posts are straight reporting of our experiences; however, a few are more analytic and philosophical (perhaps of more general interest) and can be found repeated in the Selected Posts list.

Uncle Sam and Gini

Returning to the States in 2008, I was struck by the extreme range of income visible in the US compared with the military communities with which I had been associated overseas. Over the past two and a half years, I have become convinced that income inequality is a serious problem for the US and wrote a piece to put my thoughts in order.

I would be honored if you would take a look at Uncle Sam and Gini in the Other Pages column on the right, and let me know what I got wrong in my analysis.

Thanks.

David

David, I printed it all off and read it a few weeks ago. Great research, but I am totally up in the air as to the reason(s) behind the growing discrepancies. Will email you with some ideas (with absolutely no back-up) about possible causes. - Larry Phillips
