No you are have not said it is fine for the lower classes, you simply ignore the gravity of the hurt....pretending its not that bad...... of course it not that bad for you.....YOU are not living it.... Its worse for them than it was in 2008, plain and simple. Your inclination to ignore it is wrong.

Government caused? You bet. So both situations share this factor. The difference today is the disproportionate harm to the lower class, and the gravity of damage being done to them.

So then your position is, if we can find some example that disproves the larger experience..... it can then refute the position? This is interests me.

But it’s not worse than 2008, and thus for any adult is not “the worst they’ve seen in their lifetime.” “People” saying they prefer Trump to Biden is irrelevant to that claim of yours. Ron posted some polling data. I’ve posted data showing black Americans as an example are much better off now than they were in 2008. Yes, for “some people,” it’s worse now. But overall it is not. Most Americans weren't born the last time the federal minimum wage bought as little as it does today. It's been nearly 13 years since Congress raised the nation's baseline pay to $7.25 an hour, and that rate is now worth less than at any time in 66 years, a new analysis finds.

Sure. Yes, there are some people that this is the “worst economy of their lifetime.” But that’s not true for the lower classes as a whole, and the fact that there are about 70% fewer people making minimum wage than 2008-2010 is further evidence of that.

It is also true that inflation harms minimum wage earners differently....so those making minimum wage today, have never experienced an economy this harsh.....sure they are employed(in many cases with more than one job) and sure wages are higher....but inflation is out pacing it....

The game is simple, hand out money and people vote for you......later.....when inflation comes, it consumes MORE than the money you handed out to them.

For people making minimum wage, yes. But they are a very small part of the workforce. I actually misspoke earlier, they are only 1% of workers earning hourly wages, not all workers. And a good chunk of them are 16-24 so probably in high school or college and not actually living in poverty. I’d actually bet that salaries among many lower class workers increased faster than the overall average in recent years. With the recent supply chain crunches, many companies had to increase wages for front line employees in order to attract workers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You realize Trump "shoved" more money into the economy right? As well as letting supply chains get trashed. And no you're lying. Wages have FAR FAR outpaced inflation for the lower class. And LMFAO at saying these people had hope in 2019 when they had their jobs yanked away due to Trump's ineptitude in 2020. They actually had to rely on government handout like some kind of leech.
