The wage growth we're seeing is what should be the headline here. The working poor is finally seeing things head in the right direction for them.
I post on multiple bipartisan websites, the Cons have no idea how to combat this, so they are ignoring it. All of their gloom and doom predictions are toast. The economy is cranking out jobs, growing at a massive rate, and the stock indices are all near or at record highs. Does not compute for them.

The country moves forward and does not look back.

Counteracts TFG very effectively.
