Comments by "Marcus W" (@Mawyou) on "Which Presidency Was Worse For Inflation?" video.
@malachi- Thats actually not true. Just because someone says something doesn't mean it's true. Especially in the era of Trump-level exaggerations.

@malachi- No one ever said things are cheaper. Prices always go up. For all of history. Sure the more rapid worldwide price increases since Covid are annoying. But we continue to have the lowest inflation (yearly rate of price increases) in the developed world. And wage gains have surpassed inflation for the past 18 months. Americans are making more than they were under Trump, even adjusting for inflation. Hard to believe? Feel free to fact check me. Many have tried.

@malachi- Food prices went up everywhere in the world. Why is that hard to comprehend? It's actually lower in the US than most other places, thanks to Dems. And wages have outpaced inflation, especially for low wage workers. I welcome all fact checks.

@Dr.Frankensteen When good things happen under a Democrat, someone else should get the credit. When good things happen under a Republican, the Republican should get the credit. Sound about right?

@Dr.Frankensteen Credit card debt will always be hitting all time highs, just like wages and the stock market. That is meaningless with no context. And yes people are making more when adjusting for inflation. 2 percent more than under Trump, after inflation. You know you can actually look this stuff up. There's a reason I invited you to fact check me. Please do.

@notyourtypicalfarah7194 That is simply false that incomes have only gone up 4%. Have you seen how much McDonald's workers are making nowadays?

@Dr.Frankensteen I'm sorry, but that is just plain false. The 2% increase in real wages number is over Biden's entire term. It is not hard to find this information. Also, wealth may be a bit lower, but you assign blame to Biden who had to deal with the pandemic cleanup while assigning little or no blame to the guy to mishandled the pandemic in the first place. And we still performed far better than any other country, thanks to Democrats. And if you are going to say the inflation numbers are wrong, then the numbers were also wrong under Trump. You can not keep having double standards where you assign credit or blame selectively depending on who is in power, we are not children. Democrats always take over clean up the Republican's mess, all while taking contant cynical complaints from Reoublicans that they are not fixing it "fast enough". Then a Republican comes in and takes credit for the repairs. Clinton, Obama, and Biden all went through it. It's a pattern.
