“ . . . CNBC
reported this week that the average Americans family can no longer afford
to buy new cars.
According to a report by Intrest.com, there
is only one major city where the average household income is sufficient to buy
a new car.
Bingo!
You guessed it: Washington, DC.
“According to the 2013 Car Affordability
Study by Interest.com,” says CNBC via Yahoo
Finance, “only in Washington could the typical household swing the
payments, the median income there running $86,680 a year. At the other extreme,
Tampa, Fla., was at the bottom of the 25 large cities included in the study,
with a median household income of $43,832.”
Only the countries of Lichtenstein and Qatar
enjoy higher per capita income than DC’s median income of $86,680 a year.
Thank goodness. All this time, I thought that
the runaway federal spending was just fueling a sense of entitlement, privilege
and contempt for us commoners amongst the people who run our government .
