Between 2000 and 2012 median incomes for the nation dropped 6.6% but look at the plus side... in the same period incomes in Washington DC climbed 23.3%.
That's not to say that the common people of Washington DC are doing well, the numbers of the poorest in DC, those that are 50% below the poverty line rose from 9.4 to 10.4%. DC has the highest rate in the country for the poorest of the the poor.
This is for all those politicians and government bureaucrats living the high life in McClean, Vienna, Potomac, Chevy Chase, Bethesda, et al.
