Same story with the tax cut. Republicans thought it would give them bragging rights with voters. But so little of it actually trickles down that Republican candidates have stopped bragging about it. Rather, Democrats hit pay dirt when they emphasize that the immense deficit created by the 10-year cuts have become the excuse for Republicans to target cuts in Social Security and Medicare.

If anything, the good economic performance paradoxically will hurt the GOP. Why? Because it’s not trickling down to ordinary people. Voters hear news reports and claims about the strong economy but know that their own wages are still lousy. This reinforces their sense that someone else is making off with the gains. And the statistics bear them out. Because of structural changes in the job market, real wages adjusted for inflation are actually flat.No such thing would ever happen, period.

Agreed. Tax cuts are the Right fighting the LAST WAR.
Tax rates have decreased enough. TRADE AND IMMIGRATION are the issues that made Trump and what he needs to focus on.

"not trickling down to ordinary people" "their own wages are still lousy"
Ok... There is NOTHING you've offered as proof for these two statements.
A) Proof middle class is shrinking ...why? because they are moving up!
B) Wages are still lousy:
From March 2017 to March 2018, total private average weekly earnings went up in 281 metropolitan areas, decreased in 106 areas, and were unchanged in 1 area. The largest over-the-year percentage gains in weekly earnings occurred in Valdosta, Georgia (+28.2 percent), Staunton-Waynesboro, Virginia (+23.3 percent), and Merced, California (+20.8 percent).

For me the worst part of Trump somehow winning was the issue of entitlements being pushed aside for protectionism and social wedge issues.
Thanks for posting the chart. Yesterday I was wondering about the success of our social welfare system. Low income showing only a 8.5% drop over 49 years to me seems dismal.
Now back to the matter of Social Security, I believe many think its worth only in terms of the elders. They overlook the value it provides young families in regards to a sort of life insurance if a parent dies.

For most U.S. workers, real wages have barely budged in decades
Trump and his oil buddies gave you a little tax break but Shell will take it all back
Michigan gas prices reach more than $3 a gallon
But the rich made out bigly.

You sound like a parrot. "entitlements" ??? WHAT entitlements are you describing?
"Protectionism"? So it was OK for this?
A Jeep Wrangler can cost $30,000 more in China than in the United States — and the reasons illustrate a growing point of tension between the two countries.
Manufactured in Toledo, Ohio, the Wrangler is a descendant of the jeeps that were used by American forces in World War II. Equipped with a 3.6-liter engine and a five-speed automatic transmission, the Rubicon edition of the Wrangler has a suggested retail price of $40,530 in the United States.
But in China, the same vehicle would set a buyer back by a hefty $71,000, mostly because of taxes that Beijing charges on every car, minivan and sport utility vehicle that is made in another country and brought to China’s shores.

Is that fair?
Steel/aluminum tariffs. Why were these important?
Again facts against your hyperbole...

Top 10 Steel Producing Countries In The World
Now when was the USA # 1?
List of countries by steel production - Wikipedia
The last time according to the above the USA was the # 1 was 1967.
Why is that important? National security. Do you really want the USA to depend on China for steel to build warships,airplanes, etc?
FACTS are Trump is right regarding national security being important in at least keeping SoME steel/aluminum manufacturing in the USA!

Do you vote Republican? Then ask yourself that question. Why are you voting to do away with something you paid into your entire life?Why would I want to do away with something I have paying into my entire working life?
Mitch McConnell says deficit ballooned because of Social Security, Medicare, not Republican Tax CutsNo. What is the next dumb question?
We shall see. So far I don't hear a peep out of the liberal media telling people that Republicans are suggestingIt will be very unpopular and po!itical suicide.
