On Wednesday the right-hand column of the New York Times Business Section was entitled “Cutbacks And the Fate Of the Young.” The article discussed some of the problems faced by our children, including the fact that the U.S. has the highest rate of child poverty in the developed world.
On the left-hand column was an article by Susanne Craig and Ben Protess entitled “A Bigger Paycheck On Wall St.” The article noted that the average pay package of Wall Street firms is a near-record $362,950, up 16.6% over the last two years.
I don’t have to spell out the connection, do I?
