Seven Graphics That Explain How Americans Are Better Off Now

August 9, 2018|Speaker Ryan Press Office
Two years ago, House Republicans unveiled a positive, unified agenda—a better way. We went to the American people and said: If you are tired of our nation going down the wrong path, we have ideas—real solutions—to address some of the biggest challenges we face.

What a difference those two years have made. America is stronger at home and abroad with a booming economy, safer communities, and a stronger military. We put in place a new tax code to help working families; job seekers are entering one of the best job markets in decades; businesses are expanding; we’re strengthening treatment for people struggling with opioid addiction; we’re overhauling our career and technical education system to properly equip students and workers with the sk**ls they need. Below are seven graphics to offer a quick glimpse of how our country is better off now. You can read more at better.gop.

President Trump, not a politician, and made our country GREAT!
Please continue the trend on the Nov. 2018 mid-term. Elect Republicans.
God bless America.

Lyan ryan has spent his whole House career trying to throw the elderly and poor under the bus, especially with his i***tic voucher system bulls**t.

The trumpy economy is NOT working for everybody...only the wealthy and big corporations.

All one has to do is dig a little deeper than the stock market and jobs numbers.

That's just rediculous.

The C*******t Utopia where nobody suffers doesn't exist.

It is an obvious and certain fact that Trump & the GOP has improved things greatly since Obama left.

It's sad for those that want Americans to suffer to keep their party in power.

What's worse for you than they rising stock market, improved GDP, and historically high employment is the near record high consumer confidence in the American economy.

buffalo Loc: Texas

The go44amn capitalistic utopia you see in trumpy's economy is a myth. It is not working for the middle or working class. It is sad for America that the many have to live on the edge of financial ruin, bankruptcy, so that the few wealthy and big corporations can have a fv(k1n9 unnecessary tax cut.

None of the schit matters in the least to me no matter what the economy does. I have my ass covered either way.

lpnmajor Loc: Arkansas

Which Americans are better off? I'm happy for them, whoever they are, but that don't hold water with me. I'm a natural born American, my expenses are 14% higher than they were last year and my income rose a whopping 0%. Adjusting for that major tax relief, my expenses are................13% higher than last year. If things keep improving..............I'll have to declare bankruptcy.

You belong to the 10%. The 90% are celebrating their prosperity.

Super Dave Loc: Realville, USA

Liberty isn't supposed to be Utopia.

Corporations are far from perfect, but the problem is government, not Corporations.

Without an oppressive government, the vast majority of Corporate problems would work themselves out. It's government that stops competition from fixing most of those problems.

Small business confidence is at or near historic highs for a reason. And that reason is not Socialism.

What kind of business do you?
Everyone except the 10% you included are not happy. The 90% are running the marathon.

Perhaps you need to join Ocasio-Cortez, and invite Venezuelans to work for you.

buffalo Loc: Texas

lpnmajor, that would be hilarious if it weren't so damn true. Actually my income, starting in May, dropped 134.00 as I am now on Medicare and they take that out of my SS check. Hadn't tried to use it yet. If I really need it, I'll have to pay a $1250.00+/- deductible. And they talk about FREE health CARE, as if everybody that got Medicare for All got it for free. Hmmm... Free? LOL

At 57 obamacare offered me a silver BCBS plan for 379.70?month with a $6000.00 annual deductible. And they called it the Affordable Care Act...LOL

buffalo Loc: Texas

BTW, I have been single since Jan. 2010 when my wife died at 54. Worked for 3M for 261/2 years. I get a small bit of her retirement.

Radiance3

===================
Buffalo, honestly, I feel sorry for you and your wife. May she rest in peace.

But here is what I must remind you of.
Medicare was created in 1965. Currently workers pay 6.2% for SS, and 1.45% for Medicare.

When members retire, it has been a policy that individual Medicare premium is paid every month taken from the Social Security benefits. It is not new, nor created under president Trump's regime. The $134 monthly premium is normal range taken out from retirees’ SS premium. In my case, effective 2017, I pay higher Medicare monthly premium of $267.90, taken from my SS every month. I don't complain.

Most of your stories buffalo are not credible. Few months ago, you wrote that you were a president of a community bank. Then later, you reported that you left the bank cause your father was getting old, and you assumed running your father’s business enterprise. But your knowledge about banking and finance seemed very remote. That was why I never believed everything you said.

Now your true person came out that you worked for 3M for 26.5 years. You are complaining about the $134 Medicare premium deducted from you monthly SS pension. Every Medicare retiree has been paying Medicare premium. I wish you could have been more honest, and I will support you for that.

Remember, honesty is the best policy. Take care.

buffalo Loc: Texas

Maybe I should have phrased it differently for your feeble mind. MY WIFE WORKED FOR 3M FOR 261/2 YEARS. SHE PASSED AWAY IN 2010 FROM A YEAR LONG BATTLE WITH CANCER. MY LAST JOB IN A 171/2 YEAR BANKING CAREER WAS THE PRESIDENT OF A SMALL COMMUNITY BRANCH BANK. THE BANK SOLD OUT TO A LARGE BANK (FIRST FINANCIAL BANK, ABILENE, TX. I CHOSE TO EXIT AT THAT TIME, YES PARTLY BECAUSE OF MY AGING FATHER AND PARTLY BECAUSE, IF YOU UNDERSTOOD ANYTHING ABOUT BANKING, WHEN A BANK IS SOLD TO ANOTHER BANKING ENITIY THE SENIOR OFFICERS ARE USUALLY LET GO. I COULD READ THE HAND WRITING ON THE WALL, SO TO SPEAK.

I WAS NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT THE 134.00 DEDUCTED FROM MY SS. I AM A PROPONENT OF MEDICARE FOR ALL!

I AM NOT WEALTHY, BUT I STARTED INVESTING IN GOLD, SILVER, AND RURAL LAND YEARS AGO.

I HAVE NO MORE TIME FOR YOUR SKEPTICAL BULLS**T, TODAY, AS I HAVE A GREAT GRAND SON'S BIRTHDAY PARTY TO GO TO,BYE!

=================
I know how your $134 Medicare premium was deducted.
That amount is the lowest. It was based from the IRS tax report on your gross annual income of $85,000 and less. Your annual income is so small that did not present a position of a bank president.

I was not a bank president but my IRS annual taxable income is $133,000 as a single taxpayer.That is why I pay $267.90 Medicare premium each month deducted from my SS.

That is why I don't believe you since the beginning. Honesty is the best policy.
Have fun with your grand son's BD. Take care.
