Clearly he doesn't. He said as productivity gains, so do wages. That hasn't happened. That's just reality. Deal with it.

Not in Obama's service sector jobs economy.

Obama needs to stop stifling economic growth if you want to see wages increase. Here are 50 pages of ideas:

Yes, Obama's actions led to the widening of the income gap.

Do you ever just have a normal conversation or does everything go through a partisan filter?

At least you finally got around to the truth on what he said, but you still can't take the thought process to the next level.
Brat had a 200 year history. YOU have nothing, as usual. Still waiting for you to show proof individual productivity has grown.

Yes, Obama is responsible for a 30 year trend being exacerbated by a severe recession, that started before he was in office, and technological advances.

Your screen name is "informedconsent?" Wow.

The recession ended in June 2009.
NBER declares recession ended in June 2009 - Sep. 20, 2010

Obama's anti-economic growth policies WIDENED the income gap more than it had grown in more than 20 years, anyway.
