#7:  No Baseball or Softball 

Are you missing baseball and softball at the Olympics this year?  You might be missing income, too.

If the Obama recovery had kept pace with other recoveries since 1960, Americans would have had an average of about $17,000* more in their pockets over the past seven years instead of striking out.

 

The classic American sports of baseball and softball have been missing from the 2012 and 2016 summer Olympics

but are set to return in 2020.

 Will home-run incomes return by then?
