They are not stagnant. They have been going up at a healthy clip lately - highest growth in almost 10 years. If we can eliminate the downward wage pressure caused by illegal aliens, they will go up even faster.

Just over three percent, which barely reaches inflation. Not to mention that most of the rise is in low wage jobs, but you know this and purposely leave it out of your teetering to the right arguments.

Republicans gave a $1.5 trillion dollar - mostly unfunded - stimulus to prop up an already strong economy, I hope to God there is at least a small boost from it before the bill comes due.

I was right.

3% is a bigger increase than any that we saw under Obama. And Obama employed more stimulus than Trump by a good measure. So it better than what we had.

Obama inherited the loss of 700,000 jobs a month. To compare the two at this stage is simply ridiculous.

You truly have become fish killer.

That's completely dishonest. Obama rescued capitalism with public money, and that's some sick reverse socialism.
Wages are flatter than my first girlfriend, and costs are rising like sea level.

Capitalism is based on the ridiculous notion that you can enjoy limitless growth in a closed, finite system.

In biology, such behavior of cells is called "cancer".
