If that were true, you know more than the entire stock market, which shot up the second this came out.

The market liked it when unemployment dropped under Obama, and the market liked the numbers yesterday.

yes un employment are at 2000 levels and its a good

There's little evidence that workers are benefiting from the big corporate tax cuts that took effect this year.

Gas prices will likely rise an average of 10 cents to 15 cents a gallon nationwide over the next couple of weeks, rich people dont care they can afforded it poor people dont drive who gets hit the Avg American whos wages have remained the same

In the context (Spence will help you) of the discussion it is completely irrelevant. We are discussing unemployment, not wages. You are just deflecting (Spence 101) from the topic at hand to add in some negativity.

Your 1st sentence WAS the only relevant statement you made, and you said it is a good thing.

It’s ok to agree, nobody will hold it against you.

Are the average hourly earnings supposed to make us forget the lower tax rates?

No, the porn star is supposed to make us forget about lower tax rates.

But the vast majority of us, are also seeing tax cuts, so net take-home pay, is increasing more than 4 cents an hour.
