"The consumer price index was 2.8 percent higher this past pay May than it was the same month one year ago; that increase leaves real average hourly earnings for production and nonsupervisory workers (a.k.a. the vast majority of workers) 0.1 percent lower than they were 12 months ago."
So, lower....is now vastly higher. We get it.
"but reality is a different story (as always)...."
Says the person who didn't criticize Obamas tariffs. Strange how tariffs matter now.
Trump is trying to force other countries hand. Don't know if it will work. He needs to get rid of all tariffs.
The same people who NEVER complained 1 IOTA about what Obama or the dem controlled Senate did NOW complain when Trump and the repubs in the Senate do the same thing.
If I had any idea what you were trying to say, I'd add my piece.....
Are you saying that Trump didn't bring Wall Street instantly into the WH and do their bidding? Are you saying that he doesn't offer to enrich anyone and everyone he comes in contact with (in exchange for money for him, or Jared, or something else for his properties or family)???
Are you really suggesting a failed con man is akin to Ross Perot?
I don't get it - you are all over the place here, especially acting as if Trump is somehow a man of the people and has interest in anything other than organized crime and tax cheating.
Not at all surprising that you don't get it.
It's not about the person of Donald J. Trump and never has been.
It's about me and people like me that work for a living having no interest in being low-wage tax slaves in your state-centric dream world.
Who do you believe the 0.1% donor class would rather do business with, someone who will raise their tax rates and tax their children's inheritance at 65%, or someone who will give them huge tax cuts and give their children billions of dollars?
I specifically mentioned Renaissance Technologies and Goldman-Sachs in my post because Hillary receives so much financial support from both organizations.
Together they have robbed working Americans of trillions by engineering bubbles and used exclusive technology to skim the stock markets where Americans invest for their retirements.
As for the Democrat's often promised tax increase on the wealthy, when have they ever done anything except talk about it while pointing fingers at Republicans?
Obama didn't start trade wars with a dozen countries at the same time.
Tell it to the farmers.
I'm a farmer. I've been told what to do by the Govt for 30 years. I get paid to disc under crops every few years. I don't know any farmers hurting unless it's from natural disaster like a hail storm or fire.
