    Take-home pay for median households is up 6% compared to last year! Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned money to spend on vacations, education, family fun, and more thanks to the Republican pro-growth agenda. #MN02pic.twitter.com/69DmSzv9YC

        This isn't representative of Americans' experience. It's an unverified claim from a WSJ op-ed by a former fast-food CEO & failed GOP Cabinet nominee. @BLS_gov interviews a representative sample of Americans. They find workers' average hourly earnings buy the same as a year ago.

        If official sources align with narrative you want to tell, you use them. Adds credibility but not an option for @RepLewis. If official sources contradict narrative you want to tell, 2 options: 1. Acknowledge reality 2. Cherry pick "alternative facts" to support your narrative

        You had to parse hard to get there (married, 2 kids, nominal not real). For all households the median was up 1.8% on a real basis. But its due to people taking extra part-time jobs as median full time wages were down 1.1%. https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2018/income-poverty.html …

        The deficit is about to explode up 2 years sooner than expected. What impact do you think that do to wages? Take home pay. You want to cut Medicaid and Medicare and Social security to pay for Tax Scam. It's a frickin mess coming.

        You also fail to mention the 1.5 trillion you added to the deficit. But look at the shiny jets that you’ve provided for GOP donors!!! (yes, writing off the entire jet is quite a perk!!) #MN02 #donorJETspic.twitter.com/SK7jaJ52Qw

        Won't help when health insurance premiums skyrocket - that is if you can even get a policy.

        You mean the skyrocketing nearly 74% premium increases in 2015, the 59% increases in 2016 when MN had the 4th highest premium increases in the country? All due to Obamacare... #mn02https://www.jasonformn.com/press-releases/craig-endorses-reinstating-obamacare-mandate/ …

        You mean all due to the various points of sabotaging of the ACA by Republicans. Also what was the average increased granted, a much more informative number than the max asked for.

        while @Jason2CD and @aleryrl are trying to distract us with fake success stories, behind the scenes he is really attempting to reduce help for MN Soybean farmers caught up in Trump’s trade war (AKA who’s is smaller) Links in the article #MN02https://www.motherjones.com/food/2018/09/farm-bill-controversial-changes-house-congress-conservation-pesticides-food-stamps/ …

        Another blatant lie. As you accused @AngieCraigMN of, you will do/say anything to get re-elected. Not working! Most of the comments left under your posts are negative. Brace yourself, we've all had enough of your scams. Voting you out.

        The source for this was: https://www.wsj.com/articles/bernie-sanderss-half-truth-on-wages-1536188871 … The article also points out the wages have not kept up with inflation. Wages have not gone up as you had promised.

        From 2010 through 2018 we have gone from 1.8 to 2.7 From 2017 through 2018 the median line is flat. Six years of slow growth, 2010-2016, followed by flat 2017-2018.

        No growth for the last two years and the tax break that was going to fix everything did nothing for regular peoples wages, but it seems to have helped corporate profits a lot.pic.twitter.com/LUYnz9snA7

        Yeah Aaron’s been using this graph as well, the window is small and misleading. And are you against profits? This graph doesn’t accomplish what you think it does. Wider ranges show growth that is continuing, albeit slowly. I’ll take profits and slow growth and tbh you should too.

        Corporate profits are great when they are earned. Tax cuts are great when they come from spending cuts. Tax cuts without spending cuts creates debt. Republicans claimed that companies would invest in employees, they have not. They bought back stock and paid dividends.

        Plenty of companies gave out bonuses and pay raises as a result of the tax cut. They specifically said so. I absolutely agree with you that tax cuts and spending cuts would be the best solution. And not sure what you’re implying by unearned profits. They’re stealing them?
