Reply #36: Keep your eye on the Gini Index.

It's a measure of distribution.


Our Gini Index is getting into the high forties, about where it was in 1929. In evaluating policy, I ask what it does to the Gini. It's urgent that we get the number down by 10 points to assure a sustainable economy. Result of all Obama era policies is to let the money continue to flow to the very rich. He's done nothing to bring the Gini number down. (Check out what's happening in China.)

Note: This is not the ONLY thing, but a lot of information is rolled into that number. :)
