Just thought I'd post a little reminder why Trump will win in a landslide in 2020.
These are "WOW" type numbers of improved and improving income numbers for the common man.
As the article says, the Democrats are lying about the economy. I will add to this observation that their willing lap dogs in the media are helping them to spread their lies.

" [Donald] Trump's economy is great for billionaires, not for working people," Sanders likes to say.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi grouses that under the Trump agenda, "the rich get richer, and everyone else is stuck paying the bill."
<snip>
But not a word of this is true, according to new Census Bureau data on the incomes of America's middle class.

This study by former Census Bureau researchers and now statisticians at Sentier Research has found gigantic income gains for the middle class under Trump.
The median or average-income family has seen a gain of $5,003 since Trump came into office.
Median family income is now (August 2019) $65,976, up from about $61,000 when he entered office (January 2017).
<snip>
Under George W. Bush, the household income gains were a little over $400 in eight years, and under Barack Obama the gains were $1,043.
That was in eight years for each.

The tax cut also added an additional $2,500 to a typical family of four's after-tax incomes.
So after taking account of taxes owed, the income of most middle-class families is up closer to $6,000 in the Trump era.
