Good. Now we have to keep the Federal Reserve from incorrectly blaming inflation on rising wages.
I think Trump is already on top of it, though.

Ha! Not mine. No raise in four years. Due to competition from illegal labor, my income has dropped by 45% over the last dozen years.
Even with Trump in office, there's no signs of that ever changing.

My 2017 COLA (Cost-of-Living Adjustments) increase was 0.3%.
I doubt if it’ll be much more next time.

Do you feel inflation is bad right now? Worse than during the Clinton, Bush or Obama years?

Were you trying to make a point by posting that list?
My family is directly impacted by the presence of illegals in the construction trades, so I’m pretty humorless about it.
