FTA: "Fresh data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed July's annual inflation rate hit 2.9 percent, dipping below 3 percent for the first time since March 2021, when price increases took off on the heels of the pandemic. A core measure that strips out volatile categories such as food and energy also saw the smallest 12-month increase since April 2021." read more
"The Labor Department's producer price index showed a monthly increase of 0.1% for July, with an annual rise of 2.2%. Econoday had expected a monthly increase of 0.2% for July, with an annual rise of 2.6%. The core PPI, excluding food and energy, was unchanged on the month, with a 2.4% year-over-year increase. Wall Street had anticipated the core PPI to rise 0.2% on the month, with a year-over-year increase of 3%." read more

Is is the Washington Times reporting on PEW RESEARCH -------.
You poor poster. You just aren't the example to prove your thesis, are you?
First - your citation's first line: OPINION:
It's not peer reviewed, and it's not a scientific study.
All you've done is show everyone how you're on Team Mad.
Plain ol' weird if you ask me.
And just for fun (so sorry, Tony!) a more recent study:
"There was a significant negative correlation between intelligence and political conservatism"
"More recently, Bouchard et al. (2003) found a linear trend in which more intelligent people were less conservative, as did Kanazawa (2010), Stankov (2009), and Woodley of Menie and Dunkel (2015). Similarly, McCourt, Bouchard, Lykken, Tellegen, and Keyes (1999) observed that low levels of intelligence were associated with high scores on Right Wing Authoritarianism (RWA), as did Heaven, Ciarrochi, and Leeson (2011). The latter group of researchers also reported a negative association between Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and cognitive ability.

Explains the MAGA movement, doesn't it?
BTW - "Trickle down" wasn't what drove wages for the lowest end quartile higher than the rate of inflation these past couple of years. "Trickle down" didn't help the middle class for decades. "Trickle down" money was invested in non-job producing assets, causing the market to become detached from capitalization. I'd venture to say a great many of our problems today are directly tied to massive tax cuts for the wealthy. We were able to recover some of that through the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
Fifty years of "trickle down" failed. Time to bury that ridiculousness. Bush senior even understood that.
"Since the pandemic began, the combined wealth of America's 651 billionaires has jumped by more than $1 trillion, reaching $4 trillion in early December, Americans for Tax Fairness said earlier this month.
Meanwhile, almost 8 million Americans have fallen into poverty since the start of the pandemic through November, according to new data released by the University of Chicago and the University of Notre Dame."
"Trickle down" works for one group and one group only. The wealthy.
No headache for me.
I thank him for his 24 years of service.
Six times longer than Vance.
Infinitely longer than Vance's partner in crime.
