Jared Bernstein: Inequality and Budget Deficits: Why is Only the Latter an Emergency? I just read two sweeping reports on the state of income inequality in the U.S. and other advanced economies.

Of course, many deficit scolds are motivated by anti-tax, anti-social insurance, and anti-government ideology, so they've got a vested interest in the status quo. But we're not going to make much progress if policy makers continue to obsess so exclusively on budget deficits instead of the income deficits experienced by the poor and middle class.
