Income is up, but it doesnt matter, because our purchasing power has been so greatly diminished. That is what I meant.

If you were making 100k in 2019, you need to be making closer to 160k to live the same life you did then. Prices increase 2-4x, taxes being based on a percentage then further increase the price, and so on. I just bought a new truck and about $2900 of the cost was up-front sales tax. When prices were normal that number would be closer to $2100. Basically half a mortgage payment up in flames.
Imagine what that does to someone who has a $1k mortgage.

Nah I get you.
Your correct.
Not to mention things like housing that haven't been counted in the CPI for decades.
I was just augmenting you point to say I don't trust the numbers. Bidens presidency was particularly bad . They would say there has been 500 000 new jobs . Later it would get revised down to -17 000.
The 1984 reference was how they would sit around and make up statements to issue. Such as " 50 000 new boots have been made " and they hadn't made a single boot.

Nothing will come of it other than some "shocking" reports and a bunch of lip service.
He's got a full pardon so other than public shame nothing can happen. Having said that, ruining his reputation sounds good to me. Fucking guy was telling people to wear 3 masks and goggles while reminding them to get their43rd booster.

People that are dumb enough to trust the government kinda deserve whatever happens to them.
