Census income tally finds Trump 1.0 economy outpaced Biden’s — and it wasn’t close

The massive and failed Biden Presidency was a reminder of what happens when incompetent, dishonest, grifting, ling leftist democrats get in charge.

Census income tally finds Trump 1.0 economy outpaced Biden’s — and it wasn’t close​

One of the bitter fruits of President Joe Biden’s single term in office is this: An administration obsessed with policies designed to reduce income inequality actually widened the gap between rich and poor.

That’s the conclusion from Unleash Prosperity’s advance analysis of Census Bureau data on household incomes through the end of 2024.

These Census Bureau income numbers include business income, investment income, dividends, wages, salaries and most cash government welfare benefits, including Social Security.

Our chart (below) shows what happened with middle-class incomes over the 48 months of President Donald Trump’s first term (2017-21), as compared to the subsequent Biden term (2021-25). All the numbers in our analysis are adjusted for inflation.

We found that median real household income rose by more than $6,400 under Trump, roughly 11 times the small $550 gain under Biden.
In other words, the middle class mostly treaded water in the Biden years, but enjoyed an income surge through most of Trump’s term.

The Census Bureau also collects data on the income cut-off for households in the bottom 25% of the income spectrum — that is, the income level a household would have to reach to move out of the bottom 25%.

Under Trump, that cut-off point rose by nearly $3,950; under Biden, it fell slightly, by about $170, suggesting that many lower-income families on average lost purchasing power during the Biden years.

These findings resoundingly contradict Democrats’ frequent claims that Trump’s tax and budget policies primarily favored the rich. In truth, the purchasing power of Americans in the bottom quarter of household income rose by 10% during his first White House term.

And those income gains likely would have been much higher if COVID lockdowns hadn’t choked off large sectors of the economy.

Median income was up by almost $8,000 in Trump’s three first years — then slipped down in 2020, and stayed low through 2021, Biden’s first year in office.

Also, the income gains reported here are pre-tax.

Trump’s 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act delivered an average tax cut of roughly $1,600 for 80% of American families, meaning the middle-class bump in after-tax take-home pay was actually almost $8,000.

These findings offer some valuable policy lessons.

First, inflation is a devastating and regressive tax.

Not even Biden’s large cash welfare benefits could reverse the silent-killer effect of inflation’s 22% cumulative price hikes in gas, groceries and rents from 2021 to 2024.

Second, Trump’s 2017 tax policies — which were and still are ridiculed as “tax cuts for the rich” — actually benefited all income groups by increasing jobs and boosting the overall economy.

The share of the income-tax burden paid by the richest Americans actually rose after the president’s tax cuts kicked in.

Now that Congress has extended those lower tax rates, we may see a similar across-the-board rise in everyone’s income over the next three years.

Love it when the Red Hat Club runs with Murdoch

Few simple facts, first, Trump inherited a progressing economy from his predecessor, Trump’s only job was not to fuck it up, and second, Biden inherited Trump’s slumping economy in 2020, funny how facts always invalidate Murdoch’s framed narratives

Why did Stephen Moore have to do calculations if it was Census data?

I am very curious how Stephen Moore was able to get numbers from Census for 2024 since they haven't released them yet.

But there seems to be some major discrepancy between Moore's numbers and the Census data.
According to Census there was a 4% increase in real median income from 2022 to 2023 (about $3,000) and yet Moore's chart shows no increase for that time period.




Then when we look at the bottom 20% it looks like Moore switched the numbers for Trump and Biden.
Trump saw an increase of about $1000 and Biden shows an increase of almost $3000.

“cry,” and this is coming from the poster has little to rebuttal but the same lame memes, GIFs, and adolescent insults, too funny

To repeat, Trump inherited a strong economy, the facts prove it

Under Obama, unemployment was cut from a recession-peak of 10 percent to only 4.7 percent.

By the end of the Obama administration, the economy had experienced 76 consecutive months of job growth.

Average monthly job growth: During the last 33 months of the Obama administration, farm job growth averaged 224,000 per month. During the first 33 months of the Trump administration, the average was 34,000 jobs per month less.

During the last two years of the Obama administration, annual median household income increased $4,800. This is three times more than the $1,400 increase during the first two years of the Trump administration.

And in return, Trump handed off to Biden a shit economy ravished by Trump fucking up his Covid response

As noted, facts always rip up Murdoch narratives

There ho goes crying again. Poor little Arsecheese. So many tears, so little brains.

You can repeat this lie all you want, it still won't make it true brainless wonder.

Under Obama, unemployment was cut from a recession-peak of 10 percent to only 4.7 percent.

We are not talking about Obama. DUH!

As for your claim, when compared to Trumps four years, Obama really sucked bigly.

By the end of the Obama administration, the economy had experienced 76 consecutive months of job growth.

It was anemic growth at best little halfwit. We're talking about Trumps four years compared to the four years of failure under Biden simple minded little turd.

Average monthly job growth: During the last 33 months of the Obama administration, farm job growth averaged 224,000 per month. During the first 33 months of the Trump administration, the average was 34,000 jobs per month less.

We're talking about Trumps four years compared to the four years of failure under Biden simple minded little turd.

Start your own Obama cheer leading thread if you want to look really stupid.

During the last two years of the Obama administration, annual median household income increased $4,800. This is three times more than the $1,400 increase during the first two years of the Trump administration.

Link to this claim brainless wonder.

And in return, Trump handed off to Biden a shit economy ravished by Trump fucking up his Covid response

Democrats were the ones who fucked up the Covid response. Biden continued that fuckup well into his term you simple minded little turd.

As noted, facts always rip up Murdoch narratives

You don't have facts little turd. You have emotional bowel movements and lies.
