Left-wing group: Americans' wages down during Obama's term | The Daily Caller
When are the Obama supporters going to realize that the Obama rhetoric never matches the results and that Obama has been bad for the economy? Those Obama promised to help are getting hurt by Obama economic policies

The real wages of Americans have been going down since the 70s. Obama didn't reverse the trend, but neither did Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan....
Obama has done nothing to grow the economy and it is economic growth that is going to drive up wages. Your statement is an exaggeration of reality. Obama has been the most anti growth President that I recall and believes in big govt. Big govt. isn't going to generate strong economic and wage growth.

I should know better than to engage you with facts. You just fall back on your usual "Obama bad. Democrats bad."

Your statement is an exaggeration of reality IMO.
In Texas, you applaud this, especially with all your min wage jobs.
Then prove it? Trouble with facts is liberals like you try to spin them with your own opinion.
Wages have been consistently going down for years just like the poster said. I agree with that and you need to prove that we are wrong.
True that wages have been going down especially since these unfair fair trade agreements but the problem has been exacerbated under obama's rule.

This is a trend that started long before Obama took office - beginning back decades ago as the American manufacturing base was destroyed by wage and regulatory increases that outpaced its ability to increase profit. Now, you're left with the highly educated in high-wage professional positions, when they can find them, and less educated service workers making minimum wage or slightly more. The mid-range salaried employee is virtually disappearing, with the exception of those lucky enough to be in government service.
It is quite true, however, that Obama has done zero that has in any way effectively addressed the situation.
It is increased economic growth that is going to drive up wages and productivity and that isn't going to happen until Obama is fired. Look at what is happening in North Dakota now? Wages there are skyrocketing because of economic activity.

Thats easy. Reduce the size of government and regulationsAs soon as we figure out how to get manufacturing and agricultural production to return to the U.S. all will be well. Until then, we'll be in the same bed we put ourselves in. In a global economy, you have to have something to trade. You can't be a full time consumer.

Yes and get the unions out of the manufacturing business allowing current laws to protect the workers and stop subsidizing farmers not to produce.
And most of all get them out of government. Even FDR new public service unions wouldnt work. The IRS scandal being a good example.
