    No they're not. Not for most workers. Take wage growth for the 1% out of the equation and you'll find that wage growth for most workers was flat-to-below inflation.

    Remember the thing with bubbles is they are often hard to see when you are in them.
    i get that.but we are in a booming economy as well -and all the talk from the naysayers has been
    "wait for the recession". Like I said -i'm wary, but I'm also extremely optimistic.
    I can't recall an economy this hot since the 80's or the dot.com boom.

    It feels like Groundhog Day again on jpp dot com.

    A dozen years ago, jpp.com conservatives were singing the praises of the Bush economy, celebrating the alleged awesomeness of Bush-onomics, while a lot of liberals on this board were saying that the economy was over leveraged, under regulated, built on debt, and headed for a substantial downturn.

    No they're not, and no it isn't.

    According to BLS, real average hourly earnings increased only 1.7% over the year ending January 2019.

    Just wondering...what was inflation over 2018?

    We are not in a booming economy.

    If we were, real wages would have risen more than 1.7% y-o-y.

    You're shorting yourself.

    And I have a sneaking suspicion that those who were celebrating Bush were the same people who stapled teabags to their faces and fired up their Bush-Off Machine the moment Obama was inaugurated, and who were the same people who took the teabags off and put red hats on when the teabags achieved nothing.

    This time, when the shit hits the fan, we have to burn the lifeboats.

    No Conservative can be allowed to make it out of this with their credibility. Not Ana Navarro, Joe Scarborough, David Frum, George Will, or Bill Kristol.

    Without question. I just can't figure out where all of the deficit hawks have gone?

    Hibernating until Jan. 2021?

    Even more curious, are the people (some in this thread) who don't have a pot to piss in, but will defend the very policies that make their lives worse?

    The investors are not happy. The stock market is moving radically up and down. They cannot predict it because they do not know when Daffy is going to say something stupid. Obama was on a steady upward glide path. Trump's childish behavior is jerking it all around. The super rich are not happy with that.
