And their real purchasing power goes way down.
I'm trying, TOP, but it's difficult to be kind after what the vegetable and the far left Democratic Socialist/Communist loons did to our country...and are still trying to do.Remember all they've got to "celebrate" at the moment is Foul Ball Zo...nothing else at all...be kind...
It's another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
L.A. Angels are in town, maybe we can beat them.

I know....we just have to be thankful that the majority of Americans cherish this country and voted to make things great again...
Now that it's happening, when someone wants to cry and lash out, and attack the President or make it personal, it's our responsibility to guide them get through this difficult time in their life...
(Someone was crying out to the Lord this morning, though...I think we let him take care of that one...

During Biden's tenure, following the pandemic, wages for almost all workers increased. In fact, although inflation also increased, wages kept pace and in many cases exceeded the rate of inflation.
- When looking at the entire duration of the Biden presidency (from January 2021), inflation has generally outpaced wages according to standard measures.
- For example, since Biden took office, inflation has increased by 19.3%, while wages have risen by 16.1%.
- This has resulted in a decline in real wages (wages adjusted for inflation) during this period.

Too bad inflation increased faster...
Since Biden took office in January 2021, inflation has increased 19.3% while wages have risen 16.1%.
Have wages exceeded inflation under Joe Biden?
Americans have consistently expressed concern about increased living costs, especially after inflation peaked at a four-

...in an actual decline in real wages as nominal wage growth still hadn’t fully caught up with price increases by December 2024. As our chart shows, nominal average hourly earnings grew from $29.93 in January 2021 to $35.69 in December 2024 – a 19.2 percent increase. During the same period, prices, as measured here by the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers (CPI-U) climbed 21.0 percent, leading to a 1.5 percent decline in real wages.

So, for MOST people Biden made them poorer, and their wage went down, not up.

RE: our side discussion within my Mark Carney thread about the leftist approach to sources, here is yet another example (this time from Guno) of how leftists approach sources that they are programmed to HATE.
As you can see here, Guno immediately ran his reject.exe programming upon detection of the names of sources that he is programmed to HATE, which is exactly how Damo, ITN, and I claimed that they respond in such instances.
The funny thing about this instance is that Guno completely ignored the part of the post which says that the actual source is data from the US Dept of Treasury. He ignored that fact because, immediately after those words, he also saw the words "and are reported by news outlets such as the New York Post and FOX Business". Uh oh... "NY Post"... "FOX"... Those words immediately triggered Guno's reject.exe programming, regardless of the fact that the actual source of the data is the US Dept of Treasury.
TOO FUNNY!

Here is YET ANOTHER example of what we've been discussing. Taichiliberal, like Guno, immediately ran his reject.exe programming and completely missed the fact that the actual source of the data being discussed in the OP is the US Dept of Treasury.
Whenever Taichiliberal makes a Two Minutes Hate against Trump post, you can rest assured that 99 out of 100 times the sources are left wing rags. And as always, I take great delight in shedding some fact based analysis and logic light on this leftist fog:

Even though I had higher raises under the Biden years, I was financially "better off" under the Trump years because the rate of inflation was lower than my rate of raises under the Trump years.
IOW, my wages increased faster than the rate of inflation under the Trump years, but my wages increased MUCH SLOWER than the rate of inflation under the Biden years.
Libtards just see "higher raises under the Biden years" and stop there.

Bullshit MeisterTrumponomics is rolling again!
Yes, according to several reports from June 2025, blue-collar workers in the United States have experienced a significant increase in real wages, with some sources claiming the largest growth in nearly 60 years.
Key Points:
- Significant Wage Growth: Real wages for hourly workers have increased by nearly two percent in the first five months of President Trump's second term.
- Historical Context: This increase is reported to be the largest increase for this group of workers under any administration dating back to 1968.
- Comparison to Previous Administrations: This growth is highlighted as a stark contrast to the negative wage growth seen during the first five months of the Biden administration.
- Previous High: The only other time this level of growth has been matched was during President Trump's first term.
- Sources: These findings are based on data from the US Department of the Treasury and are reported by news outlets such as the New York Post and Fox Business
Tariffs showing tremendous results...and none of the disasters the "experts" predicted.
"
A prominent Wall Street economist who had slammed President Trump’s tariffs earlier this year now says that the president may have “outsmarted all of us” with his controversial trade policies.
Torsten Sløk, chief economist at investment giant Apollo Global Management, said that while the uncertainty surrounding trade policy has already started to weigh on the economy, Trump could lower tariffs on most of the US trading partners while using the levies to boost federal revenue.
Sløk suggested in a recently posted analysis that the administration’s approach may be more strategic than previously thought."

Complete bullshit. Please backup your bullshit with examples of your claims about my sources.
Wage data is from US Treasury.
You can never backup your babbling.
Yes, the US Treasury Department has reported a notable increase in real wages for blue-collar workers during the first five months of President Trump's second term. This increase is being highlighted as a significant contrast to the wage stagnation experienced during the early months of the previous administration. The data indicates that blue-collar workers are experiencing the largest real wage growth at the start of a presidential administration in modern history.
Here's a more detailed look:
- Real Wage Growth:
The data focuses on real wages, which are wages adjusted for inflation. This provides a more accurate picture of purchasing power.
- Comparison to Previous Administration:
The White House website claims that blue-collar workers saw negative wage growth in the first five months of the Biden administration, making the current increase even more noteworthy.
- Factors Contributing to Growth:
The Treasury Department analysis suggests that falling inflation rates have played a significant role in driving this real wage growth.
