I respect that, but it’s hard for one person to compare his ability to participate as a consumer in the economy from decade to decade, let alone over several decades. But a single voter can compare his progress from year to year or even a few years, which was why Reagan’s questuion , “are you better off than you were 4 years “ago worked.

You are talking politics. I am talking about a very disturbing trend that means our standard of living is in decline regardless of who is in office. The average wage of a male who has not graduated high school has declined 66% in real wages since 1969.

We are bringing in 1.2 million legal immigrants every year. 25% of the adults lack even a high school diploma. It expains partially why our wages are declining. We are bringing in 125,000 legal foreign workers a month right now. This includes permanent immigrants and those on temporary work visas. And now Obama is giving an amnesty to over a million illegal aliens up to the age of 30.
