The budget deficit under trump will be minuscule compared to what the socialist dems plan to spendWelcome to the bogus economy and TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome fueled by burgeoning debt and stoked by the First Loser.
You have to respect Donald Trump for being astute enough to recognize that the poorly-educated are a majority in US society and going after them.
Donald Trump is inflating the expectations of his howling mob by making promises he doesn't intend to keep and can't keep.
US debt has increased by $10,000 per worker during Trump's tenure while "53 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 earned a median wage of $10.22 per hour, or $18,000 per year" and have traveled backward. If Trump's debt trajectory continues, the 53 million Americans will soon have a net negative value as the debt balloons to stratospheric values.
The Donald Trump trajectory portends a horrendous recession which will make Lebanon and Zimbabwe look like desirable economic models.
Good jobs are rising slower than the population which means more and more Americans are doomed to TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome.
Trump and his sycophantic associates still don't understand that the economy and job quality has not recovered from the Bush depression that caused many new graduates to lose the opportunity to establish a career in a chosen profession and many had to settle for low-quality low pay jobs. Many of these unfortunate people have not recovered from this setback and won't under Trump's leadership.

Low-Wage Jobs are the New American Normal
DAWN ALLEN — January 27, 2020
Low-wage workers make up nearly half of the American workforce, and many of them are the sole breadwinners for their families.
Last November, the Brookings Institution released a study concluding that nearly half of working age Americans are employed in low-wage jobs. They found that 53 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 earned a median wage of $10.22 per hour, or $18,000 per year.
The fact that 44% of the American workforce now finds itself in such a precarious economic situation might come as a surprise to those who imagine low-wage work to be the domain of teenagers, college students, the newly-hired, or those taking on side gigs for extra cash. Instead, these jobs are the main way that many people support their families, especially in smaller cities in the southern and western regions of the United States. 26% of low-wage earners are the sole breadwinners for their household, and another 25% live in households where all earners work in low-paying jobs.
Perhaps the most obvious solution to improving conditions for these workers is to provide education, retraining, and skill upgrades so that they qualify for better jobs. Indeed, 40% of low-wage workers between the ages of 25-64 have, at most, a high school diploma, while another 13% are young people without degrees who are not in school. That means, however, that nearly half of the workers in low-paying jobs already have higher levels of educational attainment.
Simply getting more education won’t cause jobs to magically appear, either. The Occupy movement was full of college-educated people who couldn’t find sufficient jobs to pay back crushing student debt. Perhaps it’s true that “they should have gotten STEM degrees,” (and not those pesky Women’s Studies or sociology majors) as those on the Libertarian/Conservative spectrum self-righteously preached in 2011, but remember how that sentiment morphed into right-wing trolls mocking laid-off “elite” journalists with the condescending mantra of “better learn to code, then” by 2019? (Besides, if everyone learned to code, it would become just another low-wage job.)
So if you're saying these people started suffering under BUSH (and STILL ARE), it's obvious that Obama;s "great economy" was a lie, right???
Trump is flushing the USA economy down the S-bend with budget deficit > 2.5 x GDP growth and growing.
The huge mountain of debt Trump is creating is masking misery and hiding the TSLS, Trump Shit Life Syndrome from its sufferers which is the whole gamut of Trump's howling mob.
I would not go that farThe solution is to get rid of CongressThats a very good pointFederal minimum wage has been at $7.25 for how long
How many raises has the House approved for themselves
since the federal minimum wage has remained at $7.25
but the solution is to cut the pay of congress to force them into the real world

I see it's Trumps economy again
That's what Obama and Congress bought for TRILLIONS
Since the start of the recession, 8.8 million jobs have been lost, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In the U.S., jobs paying between $14 and $21 per hour made up about 60% those lost during the recession, but such mid-wage jobs have comprised only about 27% of jobs gained during the recovery through mid-2012. In contrast, lower-paying jobs constituted about 58% of the jobs regained
Job losses caused by the Great Recession
Low Wage Jobs are Dominating the U.S. Recovery
... Bloomberg columnist Justin Fox speculates, part of what’s happening “may be that we have reset our expectations.” We’ve just forgotten how good things used to be and now we just accept the so–so new normal — at least for as long as the slow–but–steady expansion continues. All these good numbers are a form of mass myopia or short–termism. ...

Try dealing with the here and now. Obama is not in office. The orange whore is now sitting in the Oval Office and has been for three years. He is now the person responsible.

Pelosi won't even allow funding to protect our borders
from the invaders filling jobs paying low wages
and companies don't have to raise wages to attract job seekers

The fact that 44% of the American workforce now finds itself in such a precarious economic situation might come as a surprise to those who imagine low-wage work to be the domain of teenagers, college students, the newly-hired, or those taking on side gigs for extra cash. Instead, these jobs are the main way that many people support their families, especially in smaller cities in the southern and western regions of the United States. 26% of low-wage earners are the sole breadwinners for their household, and another 25% live in households where all earners work in low-paying jobs.
Perhaps the most obvious solution to improving conditions for these workers is to provide education, retraining, and skill upgrades so that they qualify for better jobs. Indeed, 40% of low-wage workers between the ages of 25-64 have, at most, a high school diploma, while another 13% are young people without degrees who are not in school. That means, however, that nearly half of the workers in low-paying jobs already have higher levels of educational attainment.
Simply getting more education won’t cause jobs to magically appear, either. The Occupy movement was full of college-educated people who couldn’t find sufficient jobs to pay back crushing student debt. Perhaps it’s true that “they should have gotten STEM degrees,” (and not those pesky Women’s Studies or sociology majors) as those on the Libertarian/Conservative spectrum self-righteously preached in 2011, but remember how that sentiment morphed into right-wing trolls mocking laid-off “elite” journalists with the condescending mantra of “better learn to code, then” by 2019? (Besides, if everyone learned to code, it would become just another low-wage job.)

If Trump's debt trajectory continues, the 53 million Americans will soon have a net negative value as the debt balloons to stratospheric values.
The Donald Trump trajectory portends a horrendous recession which will make Lebanon and Zimbabwe look like desirable economic models.

"53 million Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 earned a median wage of $10.22 per hour, or $18,000 per year"
I love when fucktards misinterpret statistics. Idiots.
The fact that 44% of the American workforce now finds itself in such a precarious economic situation might come as a surprise .
152 million employed Americans. If this misleading stat is correct, the bottom 35%, the bottom 53 million, have a median wage of $10.22 an hour. That means 26.5 million are above $10.22 an hour and 26.5 million are below.
View attachment 308464
Table 5. Quartiles and selected deciles of usual weekly earnings of full-time wage and salary workers by selected characteristics, fourth quarter 2019 averages, not seasonally adjusted
According to the BLS, of 118.2 million full-time workers, the bottom 10% topped out at $467 a week,
Full-time is usually between 32-40 hours a week. So that's between minimum wage and $11.68 for a 40 hour week and between minimum wage and $14.59 for a 32 hour week.
And that's the bottom 10%. The bottom 11.8 million.
That means the 26.5 million in your lying stat, who make below $10.22 an hour, are probably mostly part-time workers.
Your statistics are a lie because they cover only 118 million of a workforce of 200+ million.
They have not covered the bottom end of the employment spectrum because it is in small business which they do not survey.
Of course big business pays more than small business.
Your statistics are a lie.
