U.S. Income Makes Highest Jump In Five Years
2018-03-03
[DCWHISPERS] "Impeach 45! Impeach 45!"
More good news coming out of the Trump economic boom as U.S. income makes its highest jump in five years. That’s real-world dollars in the pockets of workers and families which economists believe will be yet another engine for yet more economic growth in the coming months. As of now, no mention of this positive news coming from CNN or MSNBC.

#6  The biggest "pay raise" I've gotten in the last five years was $30+ a month from the tax reform. For three years under Obama, the "cost of living" raises I received on my FIXED INCOME from the federal government usually disappeared in higher taxes, mostly for mediscare.

#5  ...I don't know Skid. Going from 54K a year in various government subsidies to 28k a year in direct income may not appeal to a good sector of the electorate, particularly those on the vote farms.

#4  From $0 to $10.25/hr is a big jump.

#3  Higher U.S. Incomes only effect people who actually work for a living

Plus "these people" might use their increased incomes to buy more guns and bibles.

#2  Higher U.S. Incomes only effect people who actually work for a living. The layabouts and politicians (who get automatic increases) are generally oblivious.

#1  Wake up and be thankful Hillary didn't get elected Reason #many: People don't have to fiscally plan for her rapacious taxation schemes.
