        Repeal of usury laws 1979, credit extended to people who will never be able to pay it off, payday loaners, continuing devaluation of the dollar, arcane tax loopholes for the wealthy, failure by businesses to pay a living wage to their workers, government without budget limits.

        Wages are growing. Unemployment at all time low. Economy is on fire. CBS is fake news. You hate trump so much that you want our economy to fail. Pathetic.

        Is it? My company is making billions in profit and got a huge race break but we are being told to expect the usual 3% raise again. So no, the economy is not on fire and those tax breaks did nothing but help the rich stay richer.

        Yes it is. If you're not getting raises at your company you should leave. Blame the company not DJT

        Most companies are doing the same. I have friends at other places seeing the same thing. Huge tax breaks for these companies rarely trickle down. without stable healthcare and education none of that matters anyhow. The economy can only grow so big when these larger issues exist.

        Oooh! I'll try: because you are not more productive than a similarly tasked worker of twenty years ago.

        Clearly, I prefer skipping the article and making glib arguments from ignorance in order to #OwnTheLibs.

        IMO the biggest reason wages seem to be shrinking is healthcare costs! ALL insurance and MC premiums and deductibles have ballooned in cost to individuals. And that’s a cost you can’t avoid. It means less $$ to buy houses and consumables!!

        That’s true but a different issue that compounds the fact that wage increases aren’t keeping up with inflation and productivity increases.

        Fake News. Because of Trump's tax cuts earlier this year, I bring home $50-$60 more per week.

        I read the title. "Why your wages aren't growing". Kinda sounded like they were telling me my wages aren't growing. Genius.
