I'm happy to talk about it.
But I wonder, like, did you guys show the slides?
You know?
That's crazy.
Look at him.
Literally, maybe show him to Ratner and see what he thinks.
Because the slides were fact-checked by the Council of Academic Advisors.
Yeah, that's why I mentioned them.
Go on.
A more precise way to say it, though, Joe, is that purchasing power has gone up.
So real wages, that's W divided by P for our technical people in the audience, have gone up by about twelve hundred dollars this year.
So the way to think about it is that we've dug a three thousand dollar hole because of Biden policies and we've.
you know, gained $1,200 on the way out already, which should give you a great deal of hope for the future that the wage increases that we're seeing will continue.
And even if inflation stays positive, make it so that people feel way better when they go to the grocery store and to buy a car.
You know, we've reduced the cost of buying a car with the deductibility of interest.
I mean, there's a million things that we're doing to fix this problem, but it's just kind of astonishing to me that the cost problem is somehow being blamed on us.
President Trump has said, you know, he could use this as an opportunity to further cut government and turn some of those temporary furloughs into permanent job cuts.
Speaker, can you assess what you're expecting in terms of the job cuts and how severe they could be?
