Inflation isn’t everything, CPP index tells far more about the state of the economy than straight numbers. A dollar now is worth far less than in 1975 when used for actual purchases

Oh also wage stagnation and the declining quality of life in the US. Your argument is like using GDP to say the economy is good

That was my entire point that real dollar value and interest are the issue. Inflation is a component. The reason the dollar doesn’t gain value is because of immigration (legal or otherwise) when everyone coming to your country is making less where they came from. It’s not a political statement. It’s an economic one that cannot be denied. I challenge anyone to prove me wrong.

All right you have taken all of the money from the billionaires and you’ve paid the national budget for nine months. Now what? Go.

Now you’re just making things up, I just got finished saying that a $40,000 salary in 1975 is equivalent to a quarter million dollars a year now, but you said they were struggling? Which is it, can they survive off one salary in the 1970s or couldn’t they? I’m the only one here saying that inflation isn’t the problem and that there are real reasons that wages are down am I speaking of foreign language?

I’m really not trying to be a dick, I’m trying to agree with you but point out that there are other components, but it isn’t because of whatever bogeyman you wanna fill in. It’s a multitude of reasons and most of them have to do with immigration and welfare. We can argue how much and who deserve it, but to pretend like anyone in America is going to starve is honestly laughable. You have to go out of your way to starve in America, they will put you in the hospital and force feed you.

What are you talking about? I never changed my argument, immigration isn’t the reason for infant ballooning the cost of living, welfare isn’t a reason. It’s literally just pure greed.

You’re right, my apologies, you weren’t changing your argument. I misread. I’m pointing out that in your post that said in 1975, someone who made $39,000 could support a family of four. Someone else posted a $39,000 inflation adjustment for today would be a quarter million dollars. If it isn’t the welfare state and immigration then where is all of our money going? I’ll even take out immigration but that undermines your wage argument.
