Why did the rate increase?

Biden hated the poor

The SPM, which accounts for government benefits, taxes, and regional cost-of-living differences, shows a significant increase in poverty under President Biden. In 2024, the SPM rate was 12.9%, up from 7.8% in 2021 and 12.4% in 2022.

Funny how MAGAs discard full year stats on the ground that's only a short-term measure, but beagg about only one quarter numbers! 🤣

Why did Biden hurt the poor and working class so much?

Real wages have risen under President Trump’s second term, according to White House data and administration officials. In the first year of his presidency, real private-sector weekly earnings are on track to rise by 4%, outpacing inflation and resulting in a $1,400 gain in purchasing power for workers—nearly half of the $3,000 in lost purchasing power under the Biden administration.

Blue-collar workers have seen particularly strong gains: real hourly earnings for production and non-supervisory workers rose 1.7% in the first five months of Trump’s second term, the largest increase in nearly 60 years and the highest since Richard Nixon’s first term. This marks a sharp reversal from the 1.7% decline in real wages during Biden’s first five months.

Why was Biden so cruel to the workers?

Real wages declined during Joe Biden’s presidency, primarily due to inflation outpacing nominal wage growth for much of his term.

• Inflation outpaced wages for 26 consecutive months under Biden, leading to a loss in purchasing power.

Lets take a real look at what this googling fool is lying about.

As Joe Biden gets ready to leave the White House Jan. 20, one verdict is clear: He kept his often-repeated pledge to be the most pro-union president in U.S. history. For four years, at every level of his administration, he and his appointees went out of their way to support unions and union labor. 

Biden’s labor record started with appointees. On Day One, he fired the previous general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board and nominated union attorney Jennifer Abruzzo for the job. She proved to be the most aggressive protector of workers’ rights the agency had seen in living memory, and reached deep into case law to justify more pro-worker interpretations of the National Labor Relations Act. For labor secretary, he appointed former Boston Laborers union leader Marty Walsh, followed by former California labor commissioner Julie Su. To lead OSHA, he appointed James Frederick, a longtime worker safety advocate at the United Steelworkers. To enforce the labor provisions of U.S. trade agreements, he named AFL-CIO trade policy expert Thea Lee, and made the former AFL-CIO policy director Celeste Drake the first-ever “Made in America” director at the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Biden also signed legislation to bail out struggling union pensions, which will have a lasting impact on 2 million union members.

When Biden said he wanted to “build back better,” that translated to “build it union.” An early Biden executive order required the use of all-union project labor agreements on federal construction projects over $35 million. And when his signature infrastructure bill passed — $1.2 trillion over five years to upgrade bridges, highways, rail, transit, ports and airports, water systems, broadband, and more — its federal grants were set up to favor project proposals that would be union-built. The same goes with the CHIPS Act legislation that subsidizes renewal of American semiconductor manufacturing.

Posting facts is not deflecting. Your troll posts are. You keep dodging the facts.

Why did Biden not help the poor?

Trump

5 years of helping workers

Real wages increased by 7% during Donald Trump’s four years in office, according to a Texas A&M University analysis, marking the highest increase over a single presidential term since the 1970s

context, real wages grew 1.9% in Trump’s first year back in office (2025), with workers gaining nearly $1,400 in purchasing power

Not like for like. Biden 4th year vs Trump 1st year. First year leaders want reform and Trump made radical changes. You should compare years 2 and 3.

The UE rates in 2019 and 2023 were virtually the same. 3rd year in.

On inflation Trump was much better.

The big Don is making America less relevant, less powerful, less influential and less successful by the day.

Donald Trump, making America a lesser version of itself and diminishing its influence seems to be his primary task. In addition to destroying the dollar and confidence in the dollar worldwide, losing hundreds of thousands of farm jobs, not bringing any manufacturing jobs back to the US, and destroying tens of thousands of small businesses, while creating massive chaos.

Good job Don. Your work is almost done. Xi and Putin send their thanks.

That's a great cartoon. It really reinforces your nonsense.
