THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, hello, New Mexico! (Applause.)
....

In fact, this President and this team you’ve already heard from today — this President has actually signed more bills rolling back federal red tape than any President in American history. (Applause.)

And while we’ve been cutting red tape, we’ve also been cutting taxes. (Applause.) President Donald Trump signed the largest tax cuts and tax reform in American history. And now, a family of four, here in New Mexico, is saving about $2,000 a year that they can spend on their families, their education, or put in the bank for the future. (Applause.)
....

Thank you, everybody. God bless New Mexico. And God bless America.

REMARKS

Remarks by Vice President Pence at the Detroit Economic Club Luncheon
ECONOMY & JOBS

Issued on: August 19, 2019

The Sound Board Theater
Detroit, Michigan

12:15 P.M. EDT

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Well, thank you all. Thank you for that warm welcome. To Gerry Anderson, thank you for those kind words. And what a pleasure it is to be able to bring back home the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, a son of Detroit, and a great, great champion for every American. (Applause.) Join me in thanking sen- — or Secretary Ben Carson again. (Applause.)
....

And our economy is growing. The average household has seen their income go up by more than $5,000 a year. Wages are rising at the fastest pace in more than a decade. And maybe most important of all to the President and me: that wages are rising fastest for blue-collar working Americans. The forgotten men and women of America are forgotten no more. (Applause.)

I suppose it's possible that the average household income has gone up nationwide by $5,000, and that the average household in New Mexico is saving about $2,000 a year, but it seems unlikely to me.

1. I think I just made $3,000

2. "Average" includes the Walton heirs' income growth.

Reminds me of the 1990s, when UNC geography major alums had the highest average income of all majors... because Michael Jordan had once majored in geography at UNC.

The Waltons made $11 billion on one DAY last year when Walmart shares went up. That sort of gain can really skew the "average household income gain."

3. "Get Thee Hence" Pence needs to do what most of us need him to do: RESIGN!
