First off wages are not going down.
"Worker pay grew 2.9 percent in the past year — near the target of 3 percent — the fastest growth since the recession ended in June 2009"
https://thehill.com/policy/finance/405652-trump-gets-good-news-on-wages
"Mostly False" Big surprise coming from Nancy

And when has healthcare costs ever gone down? Never?

Healthcare costs were steadier than ever before under Obama
Wages are falling against inflation

Its not surprising that nothing you say has much reality to back it up. Im not going to argue for Obamacare, but have at it if you want.

Again these links simply voice complaints about cost. Explain, please how cutting school budgets will improve the quality of education, pay for fixing deteriorated school buildings, reduce class sizes, retain experienced teachers, and replace out of date text books? Also, the article you posted about unions is refuted by facts. Kansas did away with school unions and their education system didn't get any better. In fact, Kansas has been losing ground to other states ever since. Of course, the reason Kansas did away with unions was so it could cut funding without having to answer to the union. This is the real reason for that article you posted, not some arcane notion that teacher's unions prevent better teaching practices.
Below is an analysis of school funding vs quality of education. The conclusion is that states that commit more funding to schools provide better education to kids.

I'm still waiting for a source that provides more than complaints. A comprehensive facts based plan for improving education while cutting funding, please.

Why cut funding? Instead cut salaries of these superintendents and principals and pay kindergarten teachers a decent wage with the difference.

Why should anybody answer your questions? You haven't answered mine. All you did was post up more complaints and a piece of propaganda that wasn't base upon facts.

The Hill? I figured that was your propaganda, that is why I put it in there. I could have used Heritage.org or another right wing site and didn't. For you because I love ya.

The year he was elected? Do you believe his being elected caused that job loss.
NaturalFarmer

no but it had a direct relation on the job numbers in years to follow. Comparing job #s with unemployment #s paints a much clearer picture of reality.

He was elected in 08. 2009 was his first year of his presidency btw.

I hope she is okay for her sake and is able to retire tomorrow with grace, so she can move to South Africa where she can love their Constitution more than ours. I would put nothing past the Democrats and their inability to face reality.
Why does Ruth Bader Ginsburg like the South African constitution so much?
