        Real wages are stagnant or falling and you blew a hole in the federal deficit. Stop smearing lipstick on the pig.

        Here it is, John Thune’s daily bullshit post- hoping to distract us from their destructive policies and the corruption they’ve embedded into our political system. I have news for you: you and your traitor cronies are all going down. #DeathToThePatrarchy #ComplicitGOP #Traitor 🌊

        Talk about the deficit and how you are sending us into bankruptcy. All you did was max out the taxpayers charge card to throw a weekend party for the rich. Monday is coming and so is the bill we'll be stuck with.

        That’s not a lot. Try paying for housing and food in NJ on that. You people are grossly out of touch.

        who cares if everyone’s making a little more money when the cost of everything (healthcare, rent, food) is growing at a faster rate than our paychecks?

        The title is misleading. Both the article and the statistics state that this is the medium income of all families, not of middle class families. Tax cuts do explain this, because the wealthy got wealthier.

        Can you tell us what the numbers are for our state? Also, can you please do something about these out of control medical insurance companies? My doctor just told me they ultimately decide what treatment I get. What’s the point of going to a doctor then?

        You know obama used a trick to make his job numbers look so good. First they like to get those seasonal numbers,farm numbers, part time numbers. Also due to 30 hour full time work week in ACA more people had to pick up a 2nd job. Those numbers are lies and nonsense

        Because you use your name doesn't mean you're not a troll. What did Obama come in to in his administration and fix from the previous administration. Your 'tricks' and nonsense is ludicrous and uneducated, and I'm done with this conversation.

        You supply zero facts or proof to back up your claim but I can back my claim up. Typical. Only you know right. Obama got what Clinton caused by 8 years of inaction. Bush was president for a total of 8 9 months. FYI many dems voted in favor of going to war.
