Trump economy is really experiencing a middle-class boom -- this data doesn't lie
Fox Business ^ | November 07 2019 | Steve Moor

I recently wrote op-eds that ran in the Wall Street Journal and on these pages that showed median household incomes under Donald Trump have soared from $61,000 to an all-time high of $66,000 in less than three years into the Trump presidency. This is tremendous news and documents substantial middle-class prosperity in Trump’s first three years in office.

The $5,003 rise in middle-class incomes is especially impressive given that incomes only rose by $1,200 in the seven years under Obama — after the recession ended.

If the media, liberal think tanks and Democrats in Congress were truly concerned about the economic well-being of “hard-working families,” as Elizabeth Warren likes to say, they would have cheered to the rafters this amazing news of rising incomes for nearly all groups.

The left tried to credit bammy for the economy. Then they wrote stupid articles about “recession,” trying to blame it on Trump. When that didn’t work, they just absolutely refused to tell the public that things were going well.

A good economy is a direct attack on Democrat values, the very idea that a large portion of society shouldn’t be able to just sit around sippin their 40oz, watching Oprah, sling dope and pimping out their sister while on the Government Dole with their EBT, Healthcare, Free Cable and Phone, Gubmint housing ,... goes against everything the Democrat Party stands for. WE NEED DEPENDENT CITIZENS so they Will vote for us to keep the goodies coming.

The Democrat Party has been selling Slavery in one form or another since it’s inception.

Yeah, but what about The Inverted Bond Market? This economy is all illusion The Inverted Bond Market told us so. One one greatest things Rush ever did was christening the stooge media as The Drive By Media. They spew their lying BS for effect and then on to the next pre planned hit job.

Monthly income increases were something like $4 a month under 8 years of Bush, $9 a month under 8 years of Obama and over $150 a month in less than 3 years under Trump

Keep telling yourselves the Democrats have a prayer at the White House.... I enjoy mocking the ignorant

Don’t worry the GOP Cheap Labor Express is working hard to import millions ( of socialists ) to bend the labor cost curve down or keep it flat. Raising wages are an anathema to the Globalist elites.

Yep. When Obumy-wan was Prez, the media were full of stories (yes, stories!) about how great the economy was doing, when it really wasn't.

Along comes Trump and a real soaring economy and the media are dead silent (except when they print fake news about the "coming recession", which they themselves are trying to talk into happening, which they accused W of trying to do in 2000).

There is a certain amount of fatigue from all the Medicare supplement ads on teevee at this time of year. They tend to fade once the enrollment period ends in early December.

If the GOP had any brains, they would start the new year on October 1 with the new government fiscal year. Then these ads would be over by Labor Day.

At $800 or so per month paid by Uncle Sam, lots of insurance companies want that business.

Oh yeah, I remember the "Trump inherited the improving economy from obama", or the ludicrous "obama's economic plans are kicking in now under Trump".

The really outdid themselves, though, when they claimed (Biden, I think) that "President Trump is SQUANDERING" the obama economy".
