Before the election, I remember people screaming wages, wages, wages...they are down, down, down...


A brisk rise in American wages

By Mark Trumbull

American paychecks are rising again at a pace not seen since the 1990s.

The pay increase amounts to 4 percent on average over the past 12 months, and it comes at a very helpful time for millions of households.

hmmm....didn't see an article like this before the election did you? I wonder why? it's not like this data and trend are brand new...like post democratic victory...the data runs back almost 12 months.

The MSM finds good economic news even before the Dems take office? What a surprise.

Well, that's one of the good parts about having Dems in power. The mainstream media all of a sudden starts talking about the good news again and finally the idiots out there will think our economy is doing fine - which it has been for a very long time now.

They'll still downplay good economic news; just not to the extent that they did 3 months ago.

Remember when Reagan was in the WH and the Dems had Congress? The MSM was constantly trying to downplay the strength of the economy.

You only get accurate economic news reporting when a Dem is in the WH.

Wonderful thinking, wonderful english:

New idiots out there will join present idiots? isn't it so?
New will think so while present ones thought/knew so?
