Good data on the surge in middle class incomes under President Trump.

"...I reported last week in the Wall Street Journal that real median family income had soared by $4,146 under Trump through July 2019. The just-released August numbers from Sentier show a huge monthly gain of $857 in income per household.


These numbers contrast sharply with the 16 years prior to Trump’s presidency. In the eight years that George W. Bush was president, median income barely showed any gain, up just $401 thanks to the deep recession of 2008.

In the seven and a half years that Barack Obama was president, and not including the end of the recession, which Obama inherited, incomes inched up by $1,043 (June 2009 – January 2019). This means that in the 16 years before the Trump presidency, incomes rose by about $1,500 while in less than three years middle incomes have risen three times faster...."

Wow I sure haven't seen that $857 extra a month but maybe we're considered upper middle class and not middle class.

If those numbers are accurate, I will admit that is better economic news than the unemployment numbers people were talking about in the other thread.

Man we need to impeach him before this gets out of hand...

Since Trump has been in office, my monthly income has increased by about $4000 per month, so maybe I got yours.

None of the impeachment discussion is centered around economic performance. This comment makes no sense.

Much of this impeachment discussion is BECAUSE of the economic performance.

If your monthly income has increased that much, first congrats. But secondly, you're not middle class either.
