"UNBELIEVABLE!"
Yes, Joe. Literally, unbelievable.
Basically, the best economy in years. Well, four years to be exact, which isn't saying much when you consider where we were four years ago. And I'm sure they'll revise the smashing 166,000 jobs number downward once they've milked the headlines. But supposedly, even WAGES are increasing faster than inflation. If that isn't the ultimate tip-off that they're lying through their teeth to give the Republicans something good to campaign on, I don't know what is. How's your salary doing? How are those grocery bills? Which is growing faster? Do you believe BushCo or your own lying eyes?
I think I figured out the wage number, though. It's the Bill Gates theory. All Bush's CEO buddies are making astronomical salaries, which brings the "average" up for everybody. I don't see any other way they can be claiming wage increases are outpacing inflation. No way in hell. Just watch...all these numbers will quietly be revised downward in a week or two, quiely, while some other Britney distraction is plastered all over the news.
"UNBELIEVABLE!" Joe has never been more correct!
