You are such mindless political bigot. Sorry Democrat Fascist Party propaganda bot. Here the facts. Guess who passed the laws that made this happen? Trump and the GOP Congress over the reckless relentless efforts of your gods in the Democrat Fascist party to stop them.

Trump’s Middle-Class Economic Progress
A new study indicates median incomes are rising far faster than they did under Bush or Obama.

US has 1 million more jobs then unemployed

So stop being a mindless political bigot, pry open your ignorant welded shut mind and learn even the most basic facts. Your level of mindless idiocy is inexcusable in a supposedly rational adult.

Leftist have to have something to counter the success of the President.

It’s so blatantly obvious.

What needs to be done is that every Federal Agency that goes along with this type of nuanced bashing needs to be purged of the embedded bureaucrats. The not-for-profit think tanks or universities that do this are to be listed as propagandists for those that hate America. They are the quislings, the cowards, the traitors and need to be remembered, including those people that are members or leading these organizations.

Of course in what constitutes the household costs of wage-earners local and state taxes are ignored, and THEY are part of cost-inflation. and more so than many products consumers have to buy today which have seen far less inflation.

When the folks who made up the index factor in state and local taxes, in trying to explain how wages have inflated less than costs, then we might listen. Then they have to separate all their data by state, and determine in which states is the wage-to-costs gap most and in which is it less.

Everything I have seen suggests the income and affordability divide is greatest in the “Liberal” run states.

“National” statistics should seldom be the topic. They hide too much in how they hide how things differ from state to state.

So your sheriff doesn’t produce anything of value?

No, you misunderstood. Or, I didn't explain it in a way you could understand.

I said he doesn't produce anything that brings in the money that pays his salary. Or our 4 former Sheriffs.

I'm not saying we should have NO government. I'm saying the explosive expansion of government decreases the earning power of the source of the money that pays for that government.

I only mentioned our Sheriff as an example. You conveniently overlooked my mention of the thousands of other government employees. Many of whom are nothing more than redundancies. If our only government employee was our Sheriff, you'd have a point.

LOL. Last 3 decades. We have been falling behind on buying power since 1979 thanks to fiat money. The FIRE economy has a lot more lousy, low paying jobs than when we were the envy of the manufacturing world.

What's that old meme?

"Donald Trump Walks on Water"

As reported in the media: "Donald Trump Can't Swim"

For every silver lining, there's a cloud.

"The dishonesty here is that CBS composed a headline that implies that this is Trump’s fault when in reality it’s the long-term fruit of trade and immigration policies pushed by Daddy Bush and continued in lockstep by his son, Clinton and Obama."

Bingo. I won't rant, but I still see attempts in the tech sector to replace engineers with H1bs, or outsource to India/China, while middle managers check the box and move on/get promoted hopefully before the impact of such catches up to them.

The India scam is the worst of the two. They bring in "consultants", with pie in the sky sales pitches about everything they can do, only to screw it up and then come out of the woodwork to take credit after domestic in house employees fix the mess.

Yes, our country is pretty much being handed over to thirld world interests and I haven’t seen this trend reversing under Trump. Not blaming him for the problem but unchecked immigration including H-1Bs will be our downfall.

Trade with slave nations, creates lowly slave jobs.

Products are of poorer quality.

Congress gets richer through foreign bribes.

END IMMIGRATION NOW

Halt the great Migration Replacement of your family with hardcore socialists.

Tariff all foreign countries.

End all immigration for 50 years.
They just bring in hardcore socialists.

End chain migration.

Send all immigrants back.

50 years.

Give Congress an extra migration stipend for their efforts to offset the loss of foreign contributions.

Things are horrible out there. I’ve got it on good authority that, once we murder all the billionaires and confiscate all of their ill-gotten wealth, things will be really good for all. Everything will be free and nobody will ever have to work again.

Obama killed millions of salaried professional jobs. It will take some time to get them back.

“More spinning from CBS otherwise known as The Center for BS!”

Jobs are getting worse for the average worker. I work in employee benefits for 35 years. Benefits have been dropping and employees pay more every year.

The minimum wage I earned in 1978 is almost $15 an hour today based upon the cpi calculator.

We are on the race to the bottom. Illegals, offshoring, HB-1 lowering wages.

Companies are now hiring temp workers so no benefits etc

Other than maybe 35-40% of workers who are doing great the other 60% have been treading water.
