Real Wages just went negative.
Raises are no longer keeping up with inflation. Corporate profits are doing well though which is driving inflation. The tax cut is helping out the top 7% I believe. If you have a HELOC or was able to deduct local taxes the tax cut was a big loser for you. Trump’s administration added 600 million to the economy with deficit spending. The budget next year is going to have a 1 trillion deficit. That is unsustainable. I’m afraid bad times are soon going to be here.

Still a positive for me. More money in my paycheck and my wife got the first non-promotion based raise in a decade.

If you got screwed just think of it as payback for when I got screwed over by Obamacare.

The tax cuts did screw over the middle class in Ohio, New York, and California. Probably a boon to the southern states. Congrats! I can see why Southern states voted R. I can not for the life of me understand an Ohioan voting R. They screwed us.

At least the Ohio public sector workers don't have to worry about the unions stealing money from them if they don't want to contribute to the unions.

Why are wages higher in Union states than in right-to-work states?

Why is the cost of living higher in union states than non-union states?

Wages were lower than flip-flopping inflation for a month. Big deal. Its still up year over year, 2.7% vs. 2.4% inflation. Come back when there is a trend. Month-to-month inflation rates are very volatile based on short term food and fuel price swings.

I found another link and didn't look at his. Something posted on a message board is even more suspect than the fake news CNN and NY Times.

Bashing a very strong economy isn't going to reverse the trend of your evaporating generic ballot advantage.

Less than 3 months out. Still no message.
