        Miss this part? "Economists have been worried about why wage growth has been so sluggish lately, but Americans appear to be compensating for that by working longer hours or having another family member find employment.” Your booming economy is ruining our lives.

        I do find it curious that the @GOP and you stopped caring about deficits when a Republican is president but make deficits the holy grail when a Democrat is president.

        61,000 so that's like 28000 in real dollar terms. Can't wait for the hyper inflation to kick in.

        Increasing wages? Our wages went up at the exact rate of inflation. Stagnation is what I see @CongMikeSimpson Further more tax breaks have only put the national deficit increasing due to the huge breaks you all provided to the wealthiest and corporations.

        If you read the article you'll see that this isn't due to wage increases, it's due to people working longer hours.

        10 year upward trend! It's a lot less fun when the current president is an unhinged divisive jerk though. Time for you to retire. Just like the tax cuts for 99% of us will.

        When the GOP passed the 2017 Tax scam, some wealthy Republicans took their massive tax cuts and bought themselves another yacht. They're now considering Tax 2.0 which could fund more than 13,000 yachts for the richest 1% in its first year alone https://www.americanprogressaction.org/issues/economy/news/2018/09/12/171648/tax-bill-launch-13000-yachts/ …

        “Booming” economy? Did you even read the report you refer to? Stop lying to your constituents and work to improve their financial distress, Idahoans are working more for less. Go to a bank with the improved median income and see what kind of loan you qualify for!

        The Interest Expense for August 2018 is 494,036 Million Dollars. The Interest Expense for August 2017 was 434,628 Million Dollars. Is this the Trump Economic Miracle? Your Deficit Funded tax cuts are not filling the coffers & are adding to the debt of 21.499 Trillion dollars.
