The things you cannot grasp are your responsibility to correct.
Kind of hard to grasp that which is never said.
Plus I have my own issues to deal with.
We have a winner!

You probably missed it or didn't recognize it. You are getting on in age.

No difference, but to beat a BB, you might need another BB.

Actually, that didn't happen either. Our discussion centered around median income. Sorry.

Amazing how you think your narrow definition excludes all the factors of a conversation. No wonder you missed it.

Says the man who cannot come up with even a whisper of a quote to prove his point. We were discussing median income. There was no math to do. I have no idea what you are talking about and I don't think you do either.

You can only discuss an isolated statistic for so long, in this case it proves nothing because of massive population growth

, in this case it proves nothing because of massive population growth
Massive pop growth in the U.S. in the past twenty years? An addition of forty million does not amount to some sort of massive pop growth for a country of 330 million. If it did anything, it would drive wages down and lower the median.
Why are you guys so resistant to the simple truth that our economy is doing very well? Unemployment figures and median income figures both tell the same story. I think Tal doesn't like it because he doesn't like Trump, and Clete doesn't like it because it might reflect well on the United States and he seems to resent that.

I am wondering the same thing. I have no idea. I guess we could throw GDP growth in there as well as it's been above 2% in 11 of the past 12 quarters.

My economy has been going very well since 2002. Challenges and glitchs, nothing big. Not everyone everywhere has been as fortunate as I have.

Of course I'm glad you're doing well, but you do realize we are not just talking about your well being? We're talking about how the country is doing.

I think, by and large, albeit not in every single case, that the left in general has a difficult time giving accolades to Trump because he is a Republican AND he, by comparison to many Beltway and lawyerly political types, is not smooth, not polished, not polite, crass, and is definitely an OUTSIDER compared to other Presidents...some would say he isn't Presidential. BUT, could you imagine, ROMNEY would have been all of those things, would have had all of the "attributes" and would have been a HORRIBLE PRESIDENT!
We have to get past the things that don't matter when looking at EFFECTIVENESS in people, and that includes our elected leaders. Trump has done a great job with the economy and only bitter people cannot come to admit this truth.

Very true, but many are not sharing in how well the country is doing. If they did, the country could do even better.

LOL, I well remember the right wing noise machine being all over Obama for 8 years whether they were in power or not, but when they were it was 6 years of obstruction. Sure Moscow Mitch can make the point to make Obama a one term president from day one, so getting the same back is something repubs and righties should get use to.
