And take a look at this deceptively scaled figure she presented to make Trump look bad.

Now lets take a look at a wider version of the same information. Oops!. Funny how she left that little part off, isn't it?

"Nancy Pelosi - Trump has put the interests of wealthy Americans over working people"

Does she mean wealthy Americans people like herself and the rest of the millionaire dems in the Senate, in Hollywood and in the rest of the county?

No, some don't get caught. Look at facebook. They took a hit larger than the GDP of Kuwait. That bears no resemblance to any sort of reality.

Totally plausible. Right?
LOL! I'm sure that's what she meant.

Bottom line - she's right. Wages continue to be stagnant and prices, including gas, continue to rise. Those tax cuts did NOT trickle down to the worker. It is what it is.

Really? I'm a "worker", and it trickled down to me. I see it in every pay check. Same story with every employed person I know.

Seriously, do you even pay income taxes?

While she may not be entirely honest, it doesn't bode well for Trump that real wages is dropping so significantly under him.

.
Agreed.

If the economy is booming and unemployment has fallen to very low levels, wages should be rising, not dropping.

Nice anecdotal claim.

What was your hourly last year compared to this year? Did you get a promotion?

One does not need to be broke to care about working people. She is more sincere than Trump.

Obviously he doesn't. Everything about my job has improved since that horrible monster Trump got into office. Higher wage, more hours, less regulation, etc. As you said, nearly every employed person I know has benefited since the end of the Obama years. I suppose the only people who haven't, perhaps, are those living off the taxpayer. I wouldn't know.

Sure she is. The only thing she's more sincere about is being a Marie Antoinette in her own brain.
