I just put this together (although I'm sure someone has thought of it before).
Using Atlanta MPA as a sample city, the average family makes $21,000 / year.(1) Therefore, Republican tax cuts save them $9 annually. (2).
The rise in gas prices will cost that same family $5772. (3) Thus a net savings of - $ 5763.
Is it any wonder that, despite good numbers, people aren't thrilled with the economy.
