    Sure. But inflation is down, we didn’t go into a recession, and wage growth has been outpacing inflation for over a year now.

    This is good, we’re going in the right direction. Deflation would be way worse.

      We should raise the minimum wage until it is commensurate with the price gouging. All at once, since none of the corporations eased us into higher prices.

      But we have zero parties in this country that are willing to raise the minimum wage at the national level.

      Going in the right direction is fantastic except that it takes too long to really feel the impact, so all the low information voters will put in a republican, they’ll just happen to be in office when the good times hit, but then they’ll ruin it completely, which won’t be felt until a Democrat takes over, who then will have to clean up the mess, repeat ad infinitum

        You don’t have to go any further than these comments to find plenty of people who have no idea how any of this works. lol

        I’m hoping this time you’re wrong because there is a whole lot more on the line right now than just the economy.
