Bad news for Republicans

[eddiew]

The missing piece from the economic recovery has finally materialized.

Median household income, adjusted for inflation, is now higher than it was before the recession that began at the end of 2007, according to new data published by Sentier Research. The typical family earned $57,153 in December, which is 4.3% higher than a year earlier and nearly 1% higher than December 2007. And month-to-month gains during the last several months have been the most rapid in the history of the survey, which dates to 2000. If the pace of growth continues in 2016, household incomes will hit a new record high well in advance of the November elections.

Despite widespread worries of another recession, data on jobs and income show that ordinary workers are increasingly better off. Famed billionaire businessman Warren Buffett said in his latest annual letter that “America’s economic magic remains alive and well." The numbers back him up.

Every month, Sentier calculates a household-income index, based on Census Bureau data, that allows it to measure the purchasing power of the typical family month-by-month, after adjusting for inflation. Here’s what the index looks like, with the red line representing household income (left scale) and the dark line representing the unempl

That's good news, not bad news. Do you really think anyone wants people to have bad lives, just because Obama is president? The states is on the other hand mostly governed by Republicans, and they have more influence over the economy than Obama and the senate.

If things are better, why are Republicans so angry? Who's lying to them and telling them that they should be angry?

There are other things than the economy that makes Republicans potensially angry. What about the fact that more and more children grow up with single mothers, and fewer and fewer are getting married, making children suffer from it. Cultural degeneration.

"The typical family earned $57,153 in December, which is 4.3% higher than a year earlier and nearly 1% higher than December 2007."

Wow...all of one percent gain in 9 years! That is impressive. Can't wait for these policies to continue!

See what I mean Dani?

 

[bendog]

But when Hillary warns America about going back to republican economics, the Donald can truthfully say he's never supported republican economics!

 

[whitehall]

Median income 1% higher than it was when Barry took office two freaking terms and seven freaking years ago and that's good news for democrats? They must be desperate.

Yea, and inside Michigan state Republicans are giving themselves credit for a recovery that Republicans on a national level deny is even taking place because that would mean having to give Obama credit. They're just playing politics on a stupid electorate.

Bill Maher described the latest Republican presidential debate as "an amazing conspiracy of delusion among the people on that stage." He said that the GOP candidates spoke about the world as if it was on fire, and the United States was in the toilet.

Maher took exception to Donald Trump's "we have to make America great again" stance, which is articulated by other candidates even if they're using different words. They all claim that we have to restore things to the way they were before. Maher then went on to itemize the successes of the Obama administration contrasted with what George W. Bush left him:

• Unemployment went from 7.2 percent to 5.1 percent.
• Gas prices went from $3.24 to $2.31.
• Percentage of uninsured went from 15 percent to 9.2 percent.
• Oil imports went from 11 million barrels per day to 4.5 million.
• Teen pregnancy went from 40.2 births per thousand to 26.5.
• Iran went from 19,000 centrifuges to under 6,000.
• GDP growth went up from -.3 percent to 3.7 percent.
• The Dow Jones average went from 10,365 to 16,000.

So, what should it be for the average american household, after 8 years of a successful presidency?

 

[sealybobo]

Median income 1% higher than it was when Barry took office two freaking terms and seven freaking years ago and that's good news for democrats? They must be desperate.

George Pataki attempted to re-frame the narrative, claiming that Americans are not feeling any of that success. Pataki also said that the recovery was weak and Mark Cuban corrected him, saying this is the longest period in history without a recession.

Republicans constantly claim that worker participation in the labor force is lower than normal. What they never add is that one of the major reasons that is the case is that baby boomers are retiring. That volume alone will be reducing participation rates for some time to come.

After all those QEs and stimulus, median income should be at least 25% higher.

So the question is, where is the money?

During the last election Mitt Romney said, “If President Obama is elected you will not be able to get a job.” But unemployment is now lower than it ever was under Reagan.

Mitt also said if we bailed out the car companies you could kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. But we did bail them out, and it’s doing better than ever.

Donald Trump said Obamacare would be a job killer. But it didn’t kill jobs. It didn’t result in death panels. It didn’t bankrupt the states. It didn’t bankrupt the nation. It didn’t bankrupt Medicare. It didn’t bankrupt the insurance industry.

Or how about Newt Gingrich in 2012 saying if you want ten dollar a gallon gasoline, Barack Obama should be your candidate.

Or the NRA president saying that a reelected Obama would erase the Second Amendment from the Bill of Rights.

Or Rick Santorum warning that if gay marriage became the law of the land our country will fall.


You know, for a party that’s so anti-gay, they sure pull a lot of stuff out of their ass.

The basis for the Republican Party’s comprehensive track record of being wrong about everything is their decision to oppose anything President Obama suggests. The Republican refusal to compromise combined with a failed social and economic ideology has created an inability for Republicans to be right.

The Republican refusal to recognize facts has left them living a parallel universe that is governed by their feelings and beliefs. Republicans can’t share common ground with the rest of us because they invent their own reality. Until Republicans decide to join the rest of us, they are going to be off on an island watching the rest of the world pass them by.

The United States is changing, evolving, and growing while the castaways on GOP island cling on to the past.
