@econJaredB This is the thing that gets me. Under Biden wages grew faster than inflation, a story the mainstream media would not tell, even despite inflation and dealing with a global pandemic. The story should be: It could have been a lot worse.

@DeanBaker13 I would say we should take the base at Jan 2020 before the pandemic effects hit.

@Adamocomic @JStein_WaPo @jasonfurman What is tragic is this simple chart is more insightful than the whole of Furman's supposed "analysis."

@Lance82697815 @realDonaldTrump Did you believe the price of eggs were really high, even though you never paid a high price for them?

@JDBastow @Lance82697815 @realDonaldTrump Then I'll get down on my knees and pray!

@Noahpinion This looks about right. Wages have gone up by about a factor of 10 but the price of some cherry-picked items (college and healthcare) has skyrocketed. Other things (cars and houses) have risen by about the same order of magnitude.

@Noahpinion It looks like the only thing he got wrong here was the median household income now is actually closer $81k.

@RachelBitecofer Sad to say I entered the US on a visitors visa and then got married and stayed. Legally I broke the rules so even though this was 30 years ago I am eligible to be deported. Luckily im the correct color and that’s all you need to know about Trumps immigration policy.

@USA_Polling I don’t give a shit about the way she dresses but turning her back on the Democratic Party was fucked up.

@RobProvince @PolitiFact Nobody suffered because Hunter Biden got a pardon.

@DeanBaker13 NPR are basically Republican propaganda at this point and have been for quite a number of years.

[Nell Pinks @Pinkybum1]

@JoanofArgh @RachelBitecofer This is 36% of republicans though so an even smaller percentage.

[Nell Pinks @Pinkybum1]

@jmarshall_cfa @DeanBaker13 Ironically, your chart does show average weekly earnings keeping up with overall inflation, so I’m not sure what your argument is. Isn’t it contingent on you to show how people were suffering? A household bill isn’t mostly food and energy a very large proportion is rent/mortgage.

@ModeledBehavior The replies to this post are weird - FDIC couldn't stop financial crises like the Great Recession that's not what it was designed to do. FDIC protects customers so they won't clean out the bank en-masse if the bank starts getting into trouble.

@emptywheel Is it?? The billionaire owners of the corporate media wanted Trump to be elected.

[Nell Pinks @Pinkybum1]

@BenDempsey18 @VP What are you taking about? The percentage can’t increase too far above what would be considered “full employment.” But at least it’s above the percentage just before the pandemic hit.

@NormOrnstein Pardoning Hunter Biden was the correct moral and decent thing to do. We have a Trump who says he is going to use the FBI and DOJ to go after his enemies. Hunter was already unfairly targeted for extreme punishment not befitting the crime, it was going to be worse after Jan 20th.

[Nell Pinks @Pinkybum1]

@keithedwards Presidents pardoning their relatives is a long tradition and history. Other presidents who pardoned relatives: Bill Clinton, Abraham Lincoln and Donald Trump.

@scarylawyerguy Trump lied is apparently front page news now.
