Whether you're playing devil's advocate or whatever, doesn't excuse carrying a torch for the left's lynch mob. Doesn't mean I think you're an enemy, but darn.

The left wants it in the grave though, along with fossil fuels and taxpayer self sufficiency. The stock market's gains since election night 2016 have added 10 trillion dollars in gains, which is half of our national 22 trillion dollar shortfall. Market Watch has wage earners realizing meaningful earnings growth during the present administration while records show zero or minus growth for the entirety of the Obama era. Barney Frank was seen surfboarding the shockwaves of 2008.

Stock market gains are great, but the middle class sees little of that. That money gets reinvested back at the top to continue to blow up the balloon. How our markets are surging is actually scary; the rest of the world is on a roller coaster.

Most of that wage growth is the rise in minimum wage laws in 26 states. It is ironic that the president and those on the right are touting wage growth when most of the growth is produced by legislation republicans don't support.
