Comments by "whyamimrpink78" (@whyamimrpink78) on "WATCH: Trump's BS On The Economy Fact Checked" video.
Kyle being fair? That is the funniest thing I heard on this channel. Someone needs to fact check Kyle.

RaKoon, many times. For one, when Kyle talks about healthcare he keeps bringing up the 45,000 dying in the US due to lack of access in healthcare. He then says that number is zero in other nations. That is factually not true. You have cases in Canada of people dying waiting for "elective" heart surgery or up to 7000 people dying a year in Australia waiting for "elective" surgery. Kyle brings up how wages have been dropping for decades. There is some truth there when you look at CPI inflation. But if you look at PCE and GDP deflator inflation wages have gone up. Also, inflation measures have many shortcomings. Those are two examples off of the top of my head. There are many more but the fact is that Kyle presents only one side of the story, never the full story.

Evan, ever heard of the book "How to Lie with Statistics"? Just presenting data is flawed. Anyone can present data in numerous ways. Let us look at employment. Yes, employment was going down before Trump took office, but so was labor participation. Since Trump took office labor participation stagnated. Initial claims are going down and interest rates are going up. All signs of a strong economy.

Evan, I never said the stats are not true. I am saying one can misrepresent them. That can be done mainly by leaving out important information. Kyle does that a lot.

RaKoon, look up PCE inflation and GDP deflator inflation. And yes, Kyle has said there are zero deaths in other nations due to lack of access in healthcare. As for my sources, look up the video entitled "The Real "Truth About the Economy." Have Wages Stagnated?" Point being, there is a lot to these issues. Kyle hardly scratches the surface. This also makes him a hypocrite because he rips on others, especially in the media, for not giving the full story.
