I didn't buy it when the conservatives said it either. I thought the numbers were always real under Obama. Unfortunately so were the wage growth numbers. I think he always had the unemployment numbers, but service industry jobs and other low wage work isn't ideal.

If good paying jobs were being replaced by low paying ones why didn’t the weekly average wage decline?

It didn't grow, but inflation didn't stop. Here is a leftist source for you. I didn't think this was an area of contention, I'm surprised that you're suggesting this didn't happen. Obama had jobs, but often low paying jobs were what people took.

It’s not an area of contention although I’m not surprised that you didn’t understand what you linked. Real wage growth was stagnant under Obama, but real wage growth accounts for inflation. If good paying jobs were replaced by poorly paying ones real wages shouldn’t have been stagnant, they should have declined. This did not happen.

Yeh, it's all Obama's fault. Everything. Never mind that the Party of No held a blocking position in Congress the whole time or that wage stagnation dates back to the 70's-

From the graph above it seems obvious to the Trumpublicans & their sycophants that what we really need is... A corporate tax cut!

One problem that I saw under Obama, was that under the ACA, companys were mandated to offer healthcare for workers over 29-30 hours, which effectively reduced full time jobs for the unskilled.

This is not true. During the initial recovery part time jobs accounted for a majority of the jobs created, however that changed by the time the ACA was fully implemented.

Answer the question please, how old are you?
Free, White and 21. :) As they say.
Trump really has the left shitting themselves. At this point it is obvious they are worried because Trump's being a very successful leader so far. He may be unconventional, but he is winning.
Actually America is winning again and the rest of the world resents it...and that makes me very happy.

It's all about the delicious liberal tears, right?

Other than that, what is it, exactly, that we're supposedly winning?

He's right though, the "Hate America" crowd like yourself hates, literally hates, the fact that the United States is doing well politically and financially.

were you asleep for the 8 years that was actually happening? Oh no, yeah, of course you weren't. You were just pretending it wasn't.

Fuck off you Russian sock puppet.

Yep, a couple of more years of Trump and the rest of the Republicans in power and the US will be the biggest and bestist banana republic in the world. By that point in time it will be Generalissimo Trump to fascista peons like yourself.

I used to think it was the conservatives, but plainly today the left puts it's partisan agenda ahead of America.

Yeh, that explains Repubs' tax giveaway to the wealthiest how, exactly? Their attack on the healthcare system & soon to be Medicare, Medicaid & the rest of it? Tearing down the EPA, the State Dept, the FBI, DoJ & our intelligence agencies? Trump's attack on the common decency of DACA?

I could go on but it seems clear that you'll defend them at any cost by casting aspersions on the opposition.

Literally no one believes you when you say things like this.

We all remember when you tried to lie about supporting Clinton before you were OUTRAGED by how the DNC was financed.
