    Actually, Trump broke it. Obama had it humming.

    Assumption on your part. Also, a poor attempt at a deflection from the fact that you trumpettes do nothing but try to advance fake news.

    Pure fantasy! President Trump's economy is due to his efforts. Obama embraced malaise.

    That might be an interesting statistic if you compared it to something - For example - what was the number of households that moved above 50K - in constant dollars - from 2014 to 2016 ?

    Reaganomics does produce a short term gain - for long term pain.

    Feel free to present alternate data that disputes the OP

    That's actually the point. The OP did not present any data at all, merely refers to a report. Nowhere in the report does it state what the OP claims.

    Why are these who’re in Trump’s camp are automatically gullible while these who’re in Democrats camp are automatically the enlightened?

    Because?

    Look at the rise in median wage I posted. It rose much faster under Obama, so more people would have moved up.
    You can't find a rebuttal because there is no meaning to the OP.

    Data is in the OP link. Your confusion is?

    "More than 1.2 million American households moved to above $50,000 in annual income between 2016 and 2018, according to Census Bureau data released on Sept. 10, a sign of a growing middle class.

    The data is a boon to President Donald Trump,
    whose platform is centered on a strong economy and promises of increased prosperity."

    Actually the data matches in the OP and your link but your link considers the rise to be inconsequential even though it shows an even bigger jump in income of 3%.


    From the OP link: " Nearly 30 percent of households pulled in between $50,000 and $99,999 in 2018. That’s up from less than 29 percent the year before—the fastest increase since 1968."

    From your link: "The 2018 real median earnings of men and women who worked full-time, year-round increased by 3.4% and 3.3%, respectively, between 2017 and 2018."

    ......and important to note, they have jobs which millions would not if the federal minimum wage is changed to $15 an hour. We call those not working part of the ObamaEconomyMatrix.

    Apples and oranges. One is family the other is individual.
    The OP is households.
    Clearly median household income grew faster in Obama's final years.

    So you are the one that compared apples to oranges then.

    Are you blind?

    There is the same stagnation line that is in the DJIA and every other area.

    Obama didn't actually DO anything for the economy, it recovered slowly and right at 2015, petered out into a stall.

    You can notice on your own graph where this happens, followed by the same increase that Obama claimed someone would "need a magic wand for".

    You guys can try to twist all you want, but this economy is on absolute fire.
