I'm so glad that the WSJ posted this article, I knew that it has been going on. and now we are seeing first-hand knowledge. And gratified that so many Americans caught the Trump train!!!!
AMERICANS RICHER THAN EVER
Has there ever been a better time and a better place to be alive?
The media industry continues to manufacture forecasts of doom, but harder data say that this is a great time to be an American—arguably the greatest in all of our spectacular history.
On Tuesday the federal government reported that after adjusting for inflation, the typical U.S. household is making more than ever:
The U.S. Census Bureau today announced that real median household income was $87,460 in 2025, the highest on record dating back to 1967.
The official poverty rate fell 0.5 percentage points to 10.2% in 2025…
Last year’s new record high in real median household income represented a solid increase of 2.6% compared with 2024. And even after accounting for the burden of taxes it was still a bountiful year for U.S. households. The Census Bureau reported:

Your government also says a typical U.S. household is paying more than ever. Americans are paying more, and getting less.
You've bragged about your knowledge of economics, so why do you insist on looking at only one side of the ledger?

The government will never tell the truth about inflation because if they did, confidence would collapse. They always alter the formulas, revise the definitions, and pretend the economy is improving while the average person knows damn well something is seriously wrong.

And how regulation, having witnessed Obama‘s regulating banks, causing small banks to fail, and regulating Obama care, which bankrupted, could work. What if the military had been regulated ….we would not have been able to bomb and wipe out Iran.
The airlines were regulated by government, prices went up, their routes went down. Jimmy Carter finally deregulated the airline prices down, and roots were increased. Do you follow?
How can you regulate something that you do not even know anything about? I call it Twitter myself. No one regulated Twitter. And how can you say we need to get a handle on AI, when China is not even thinking about putting a handle on anything as they’re gonna create the hell out of it. Your grandchildren will be living under China, Suzanne calls them the Chinee.
@paradox4 saidThe post is about how much more money the typical household is making… thousands more every year on average.

But you are doing a marauder end-around, by writing about how much they spend. Trump is not responsible for how much money they spend, he is responsible for making America great again and people are making more money. If you have a neighbor who is spending more than he should you need to have a talk with
Marauder, this thread is about the success of how much more money people are making. Why don’t you start a thread on how much money they spend. Good bad or indifferent. That is not what this thread is about.
Geez.
@AverageJoe1 saidI just love it when you descend down rabbit holes arguing with yourself.
I suggest everyone read the above post and consider it debating 101,… And to not keep changing subjects and topics and issues as you are chatting on a given issue of a thread.
Geez. An element of faeries in the air

You avoid the point I make? Please, champ debater of all time,,,, The issue, please.?
Did you se just above, one of,,,you’re all the same… one of you instead of mentioning the success that we have had regarding increased incomes to households, took off on writing about how much money those people spend. A true nitwit.
@AverageJoe1 saidDiesel approaching 7 dollars a gallon so how is that going to make America great again when farmers ARE paying some 50% more for fertilizer so can you make a wild guess who raises p;rices?

@sonhouse saidThe US is dependent on imports for diesel.

Democrats closing pipelines and prohibiting oil drilling has made us dependent on imports.
Ukraine has been attacking Russian diesel refineries causing a shortage.
Thank a Democrat.

@sonhouse saidYour disingenuousness smacks of trying to rile people up. The current reporting that i see attributes the surge in price is largely to global supply disruptions, which involve Iran, Russia, Ukraine, and other restraints in the refinery supply world. You say it like Trump is just raising diesel prices. Fertilizer goes up for the same reasons.
Diesel approaching 7 dollars a gallon so how is that going to make America great again when farmers ARE paying some 50% more for fertilizer so can you make a wild guess who raises p;rices?
Tell us Sunhouse if you think Trump personally caused the price increase, tell me specifically what policy he implemented that raise that price. And tell us how much of the increase you attribute it to that policy..
That question is too simple for someone who writes to himself. So take your head out of the box and stop confusing a problem occurring 'during' Trump's presidency with a problem 'caused' by Trump. gees
You probably didn't know this, since you stay sheltered in your little farm-yard with your chickens and your computer… But diesel is a global commodity, and the current spike is driven by global supply disruptions. Trump has I thought that was too.NOT cause diesel to go up in Netherfairyland or anwhere else. You simply do not make any sense, no one will follow anything which you consider logic.
So stop writing these hilarious go-nowhere posts, which are not hilarious at all, but really stupid, and write something that is helpful to the Forum. Thank you very much.

@kmax87 saidWell, yes. Our country has experienced many successes, many of which could be attributed to Trump. Keep in mind that someone like Sunhouse, who is the very worst in this category, has never said one thing about a success of Trump. Do you think he could even type the phrase, ‘Abraham accords’? Now do you get it.?Do you see that you need not articulate what I have already written ? Though I not ‘want’ you to, it would benice for all of you to, well.. , articulate ANYthing.
You want me to articulate your point for you? How about we have less of an idea of what you are on about than you!
@AverageJoe1 saidSo I agree the Abrahamic Accords were a breakthrough and set the stage for a new era in the Middle East. So why has Trump completely destroyed the gains those Accords ushered in?

Usually when someone makes a statement like this they give an example of the harm caused.
You fling something out there but it is a meaningless statement.
Care to explain?
