Median family income in the US increased from $10,000 in 1971 to $106,000 today, a 10x increase.

However, the median cost of homes increased from $25,000 to $445,000, a 17x increase.

And the median cost of cars increased from $3,600 to $50,000, a 14x increase.

The median cost of college increased from $2,900 a year to $45,000, a 16x increase.

And the average cost of healthcare per person increased from $350 to $14,600, a 42x increase.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE.

The rest of the country is finding out what Kentuckians already know.

🚨 According to a new Morning Consult poll released today, @AndyBeshearKY has an approval rating of 65 percent in Kentucky with just 28 percent disapproval. Simply amazing.

Young. Two term Democratic governor. 65 percent approval in ruby red Kentucky. He bridges divides and gets things done.

The kind of person Republicans actually fear and exactly the kind of leadership we will need after the Trump disaster.

The greatest articulation of what this administration is going to cost our country.

Wolfers: This is the most interventionist government of my lifetime. It’s the least conservative government of my lifetime. When you are the richest country in the world, maybe you are not the ones who should be tearing down your existing institutions. That’s usually what countries that are lagging behind try to do. But that’s exactly what this president is doing.

This won’t show up in next quarter’s GDP. What it will show up as, a decade from now, is companies that were never founded. Entrepreneurs who couldn’t afford to go to business school. Immigrants with great ideas who stayed in their home countries instead. Whatever the next generation’s Google or OpenAI is, it may not be invented—or it may not happen on our soil.

We’ll never see that absence directly. But our kids will feel it. They’ll feel it as lost opportunities: businesses never started, jobs that never existed, technologies never developed, and ways of creating a greener, safer, more prosperous future that simply aren’t possible.

He’s literally been in KY on tv and in the press since before the storm began. Unlike Cancun Ted, @AndyBeshearKY goes to work for a living.

@gboonee @KySportsRadio ND fan here so maybe I’m a little biased but dude can ball. Has good footwork, can make plays with his legs, very good at reading the game. He will be a big plus for the Cats.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

This is a big deal and a big win!

[The Building Trades @NABTU]

For over a century — through wars, depressions, good times and bad — collective bargaining has been the one thing working people could count on.

We applaud the House passing the Protect America's Workforce Act.

@swrr88 @tbhorka I’m not bitching about conferences not bowing to us. I’m stating that ACC football in is not good for our schedule. We need better opponents so we don’t have to hear about how weak our schedule is.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@DigDug0420 @tbhorka I tend to agree with you. We played 2 SEC schools, 2 Big10, Boise, Miami and then four weak ACC which we have to play and Navy. Take the ACC out and schedule better teams, right?

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@slmandel This is SEC fan fiction.

@DrunkCougar69 @cfbsully @rtoma9 My man, you are calling people cowards online and not using your real name. Peak irony.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@ISDUpdate Here is the thing, Notre Dame lost to Miami and Texas A&M. Those were the only two teams that were actually good teams we played all year. Our schedule is weak, we did not win the big games and this is the result.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@BickersBarry @joelforkentucky Actually, you don't have to pay union dues if you don't want to. It's called free loading. But, the union still has to represent you and protect you from wrongful termination and you get all the other benefits.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@BickersBarry @joelforkentucky What county are you in?

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@BickersBarry @joelforkentucky All across Kentucky, union labor has built the industry that drives the KY economy today from automobiles to bourbon. You are welcome for your 40 hour week work, benefits and retirement. Unions did that Barry.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@D_Farmer Good point. I’m just in my feelings.

[Will Carle @willcarle]

@tbhorka This is the whole thing though: ND is not fundamentally sound in any aspect of the game…except the Punter, that dude had a game
