Meanwhile, as the
@washingtonpost reported: “since June 2017, the relative spending power of hourly earnings actually dropped. That’s not what Trump promised.”https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/07/18/trump-keeps-hyping-economic-numbers-that-show-only-mediocre-change/?utm_term=.8b8a421afd72 …Show this thread -
Or, as Noah Smith wrote, “the tax reform hasn’t yet resulted in appreciably higher wages for American workers”https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-07-18/trump-s-tax-cut-hasn-t-done-anything-for-workers?cmpid%3D=socialflow-twitter-view&utm_source=twitter&utm_content=view&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=socialflow-organic …

Or, as
@foxbusiness’ senior correspondent said, “We gave these corporations a huge corporate tax cut and guess what happened to wages? They remained flat.”https://twitter.com/SenateDems/status/1019622012573159425 …

Senator: I appreciate the nature of political rhetoric and recognize that history and math may not be your strong suits. However, be careful using phrases like "it blew up the deficit by a trillion dollars." It's not that hard to examine the numbers the last Admin delivered.

Do tell!?! You can’t just smack his hands and then not provide your assertions!?!

I think the Senator is smart enough to know, but since you asked: Deficit increase 2009-2010 = $2.707T 2017-2018 (projected) = $1.498T National Debt increase (same periods) = $3.537T vs. $$1.4T (projected) BTW: Fed's QE to the banks = $3.7T (for the rich or middle class?)

That’s false. Every working person I know got a large after-tax raise, and they all love it. Democrats openly state their plans to take it back.

Face it
@SenSchumer the economy is doing great under the republicans. I used to be a die hard Democrat--no more!! -
It's common sense. Results vs Rhetoric. Schumer and gang contribute nothing toward unity and success in America, except criticism on all issues 24/7.
