The Georgia **** is crazy
Their election this year bore a passing resemblance to democracy.The Georgia **** is crazy
Haha Hahalol, they better hope the economy doesn't crash in the coming 18 months! because then their will be a redwave! they will get the blame
Hey, ds, the rich get rich not by their own labor; they don't work for it. They manipulate the financial system like hedge fund billionaires. The system is rigged and that's why the rich get richer. A lot of people who collect checks have been beaten down in menial labor jobs working for people and companies whose only ethic is the bottom line. Things might be good for some, and I don't necessarily think the SMART phones are so wonderful for our society, though I capitulated two years ago and got one. The real entitlement program as I said is the military and they do some pretty horrible things with that money. The way you talk, ds, you'd probably be a good candidate for Herr Meister Trump's right hand man.lol that is because now people are entitled!
people who arent even working, who are living on government assitence are buying things like 500-1000 dollar phones! every 1-2 years. you are living on governments dime! don't ****ing buy **** that are out of your living standards!
so what this does it makes big companies sell more of their products! which means those big companies make MORE money. this is simple economics. if you look at certain countries and you look at the lowest class. and you see what kind of luxury items they have like 200+ dollar phones. and those who have not. there is one coloration they are getting free government money and spent it unwisely!
so these kind of things makes the 1% richer! because they are selling **** to people who can afford it.
people should live according to their income bracket! if you are living of govenrment assitence stop buying luxury products. start saving some of that money!instead of buying a fricking 500-1000 dollar phone buy a 100 dollar phone and get some ****ing stocks into apple or samsung! you did not work for that money so you don't deserve that phone!
this is what makes the rich richer!
people dont seem to grasp this simple concept.
if you was poor in the 50's you had less luxury items then now!
simple economics these fools do not understand, then eeniemeenie questions my inteliffence. bo i got a degree in aerospace engineering! what do you have! you dont have a grasp of free market economy.
because governmetn taking money and then redistrubiting it is NOT free market economy! it rigs the economy.
the govenrment mandating banks to lend money is also not free market economy. it makes people consume luxury items and items beyond their mean income! throws the whoel system out of whack so when it fails people blame capitalism!
no you illiterate uninformed punk! it is the fault of RIGGING free markets. restraining them and tying them down
You thought the national popular vote for the senate mattered.
I still can’t get over that. Lol.
More evidence of the divide most manifested by this:
Real estate not popularity is what’s keeping republicans in business at the senate level.
I’m not sure tbh. Believe it was not adjusted for inflation.
Best I could find in a very, very, very short amount of research was that since 2001 wages have risen 5.3% adjusted to inflation and benefit costs adjusted to inflation have risen 22.5% since 2001. Purchasing power is about the same as it was in 1973
Do you have anything to back that up?That's only if you use the faulty deflator CPI-U. Other measurements that aren't as subject to human error tell a far different story (PCE). So does anyone alive who has half a brain. Wages have clearly outpaced inflation since 1973 -- wages probably closer to have doubled.

So, no, you don't. Good to know.Back what up. Its generally accepted by economists.
So, no, you don't. Good to know.

Also, since most economists use CPI as a deflator, maybe with some adjustments, it was difficult to find alternative data. But here's a Dartmouth paper that tries to calculate wage growth using all kinds of different deflation models. Depending on the method, wages have grown between 8% and 45% since 1973.

Interesting. Any idea how this same model held up for predicting the 2012 election based on 2010 mid-terms?
