White House Occupant Claims U.S. Wages are Growing Faster Than Inflation
2021-11-04
Some, no doubt, are — for the short term, at least. Others are not, and the longer this unnecessary nonsense goes on, the more will move into the not category.
[THECONSERVATIVETREEHOUSE] The gibbering and cognitively disconnected teleprompter reader who currently occupies the White House reads from a script today prepared for him by people who know he is disposable.

That is the most logical reason why Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter, close friend of an imaginary negro named Corn Pop. He blames Trump for losing Afghanistan....
 could brazenly attempt to claim today that "wages have gone up faster than inflation."

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) in September alone inflation:

"increased 4.4 percent from one year ago. Energy prices increased 24.9 percent while food prices increased 4.1 percent. " (link)

Meanwhile according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, wages increased 0.7% year over year. Inflation is six times higher than wage growth.

#5  Of course as your inflated wages increase so does your tax liability. Our share just got bigger!

Don't trust a word that comes out of his head, from this day forth, he is demented, in continent, and likely to see God before you. i.e. he has no vested interest in this community or country, he is closer to death than almost anyone reading Rantburg.

An American, Konrad Adenauer he is not...

#2  F--king liars. Lied about gas prices, meat prices, milk prices, lumber prices, milk prices, new car prices, used car prices, beer prices, butter prices, f--king EVERYTHING.

"Temporary." Yeah, right.

God but our elites are retarded. So stupid they can't even see how few people believe their nonsense.

Most retarded and corrupt American political class in 170 years.
