I am defining it by income. Look at the economic report released two weeks ago. Every single income bracket -- from those in poverty to the richest in society -- are seeing their incomes rise. The poor and middle class are making more than they have since 2000, and I believe the same is true for the top brackets.
Thanks. I guess it must be based on the distribution rather than absolute dollars. I just wanted to confirm that there wasn't another variable, since it seemed a little odd to state that the income for every income bracket has increased... kind of like saying that boxers in every weight class have gotten heavier.
my money market interest disappeared, now i keep my money in bank for free and these banks get free cash and aren't forced to pay regular citizens interest, think of the billions these banks are holding without paying out a single penny to anyone, they're borrowing money interest free.
There are always winners and losers when it comes to interest rates. The banks are happy to loan your money that they get for free to me at 2.75% for a 15 year mortgage. Right now borrowers are doing pretty good with the lower rates.
Because four more years of the last eight years will be better than the hell Donald Trump would give us the next four years. Have you forgotten where we were when Obama took office? We were on the brink of another great depression after 8 years of republican failed trickle down economics.

It might seem odd, but that wouldn't actually be a nonsensical thing to say. It could actually be possible that boxers in every weight class have gotten heavier.
My assumption is the same as yours, however: people at every percentile are making more money in real dollars than they have in sixteen years.
Obama's 8 years have been fantastic for me and my family.
401k doing fantastic after a massive depression in 2009.
Have not been laid off in 8 years.
Peace in the country.
New houses, new cars, ... etc.
Let's be honest. Look at the disarray in the Republican Party ... How can these people lead our country with so much hate among each other? Watching how the Republicans are talking about each other is seriously depressing.
Obama has been the bigger man, despite all the obstruction ...despite trying to call him "Kenyan" and Un-American.
The Democratic party is willing to lead, and compromise, do what's right for the country and move the country forward.
We need a functioning Republican party. But at this time, Obama and the democrats are simply the adults in the room.
The past eight years have been an amazing turnaround for the country, and there's still more work to be done. But you know the saying, you don't know what you have 'til it's gone.
In the last 8 years my wife got a really good promotion (company expanding).
We bought a new house.
401k looking good.
We were finally able to get married.

Are you forgetting the debt and the division in our country?
