Are you stumped or just mad? What's with the personal attacks?
Stumped by your refusal to learn and understand? Maybe.
That you think facts are personal attacks speaks volumes.
Wages and costs are tied together by a rubber band. When one goes up it will stretch the rubber band then pull the other up to and passed it at a rapid pace. Eventually the cost will continue to increase as the wages fall stagnant breaking the rubber band. Inflation. It is only good for a short time Rob then it will be a problem. Equal and opposite reaction. One affects the other. You live in the past, think in the past and refuse to look to the future or realize cause and effect.
It's good to see you found some information that confirms what I and others have been saying all along, and that you seemed to have refused or failed to understand.
You can copy and paste, but do you actually GET the info?
Here is an example of your mentality. You know that people in the past who have broke the speed limit have gotten tickets but have not gone to jail. You then decide to speed yourself because statistically you will just get a small ticket. However you then hit a pedestrian because you were going to fast to slow down and kill that pedestrian. The point is, just because the past shows one thing doesn't mean you should plan your life based on it.
That analogy is as broken as your brain seems to be at times, and is actually representative of your own life as you have described it to us: You got injured while studying biology as a contracted employee on a military base.
You got a nice settlement and decided it was enough to live on, but you didn't plan ahead for possible and inevitable changes to the economy, cost of living, etc.
You are now angry that the cost of living increased but your "nest egg" didn't increase at the same rate, and you have to work to make up the difference.
You planned your life based on what you got, but failed to think forward.
By the way, your post is a bunch of rambling nonsense.
Pot, meet kettle. Rambling nonsense:
"You know that people in the past who have broke the speed limit have gotten tickets but have not gone to jail. You then decide to speed yourself because statistically you will just get a small ticket. However you then hit a pedestrian because you were going to fast to slow down and kill that pedestrian."
It IS funny that you think simple math based on statistics is "rambling nonsense". Part and parcel of your belief that all facts that paint Trump and all other Republicans in a bad light are fabricated or fraudulently modified?
More personal attacks. Have you figured out or realized what free speech is yet or do you still think yelling in public is free speech?
Talking, yelling, whispering, singing, muttering, uttering, blurting, chatting, prattling, orating, rhyming, confabulating, articulating, chewing the fat, slinging the gab, etc, etc, in public are ALL versions of free speech.
The fact you are still hung up on the volume with which something is said really shows you don't understand the right at all.
Take a class.
