"we are nuts and everyone is making higher real wages than ever before"
You are wrong, but probably not nuts. No one claims that "everyone" is making higher real wages, but people, on average, are doing better than every.
Union thugs in manufacturing jobs are not doing so well, since their wages were artificially high and global competition is eliminating their jobs, much to the benefit of the average consumer.

Okay, forget the "everyone", that was poetic license. I am often assured that the average person is doing better than ever and I am reminded of what a friend used to tell me, "you know, if your ass was on fire and your head was in a block of ice, on the average you would be comfortable". I don't see any evidence in my neck of the woods that the average person is doing better than ever, far from it, I don't think I know a single person over forty years old who does believe it. Out of sixteen people in my department I can show you two who are under thirty and are already working for much lower pay than they have had in the past, almost everyone over forty says they are working for lower pay now than in the past.
