RE:Snyder, did you say this when obama was president?
Yes he did. He has been saying this for the longest time I can remember.
I don't know about author Snyder, but, yes, economist John Williams of shadowstats.com has been tracking what our key economic numbers would look like if honest numbers were being used for many years. His ShadowStats came up repeatedly during the Obama presidency and I absolutely believed his numbers then.
I would have expected a lot of the numbers he tracks to be much improved in the past 18 months since we through out Obummer / Felonia von Pantsuit. I am surprised he is not showing much improvement.
Shadowstats.com is a well-known and reputable source. In fact, Trump referred to his numbers when Obama was president.
Yes, things have improved since Trump became president, cut regulations, and got some tax cuts through.
But it is a misstatement to claim that things are better than ever, than they’ve been in 40 years, etc.
And that inflation number should be taken very seriously. It’s been going on for some time and has really wiped out earnings for our lower-end workers.
Consider these real numbers and you see how much worse low-skill illegal and legal immigration has been for those workers. Yet, with Trump’s blessing, the Congress is poised to pass the biggest amnesty bill in history as early as Monday next week—done under cover of this big news week, but again with the WH’s blessing.
