As far as market trends its always up and down. trumps tariffs didn't help that at all either.

So, you're a fan of basically a 13% loss in buying power over the past 6 years..........using your figures.

$0.23 = 23% inflation

vs a 10% rise in wages

the math I learned years ago seems to lead me to believe there's a bit of a shortfall somewhere.

He's using Biden math.....
"ZERO, let me repeat that figure: ZERO inflation" crazy
