During the heated CBS debate, Democratic front-runner Bernie Sanders tried to downplay the administration’s economic success by saying that the economy is “not good” for the working-class Americans.

Sanders said, “The economy is doing really great for people like Mr. Bloomberg and other billionaires. In the last three years…billionaires in this country saw an $850 billion increase in their wealth. But you know what, for the ordinary American, things are not so good. Last year, real wage increases for the average worker was less than one percent.”

However, Sanders’s claims were a far cry from reality. Thanks to Trump’s America First policy, the working class were really the ones who were able to benefit from the booming economy.

As Breitbart News wrote, “Sanders, though, ignores the real wage hikes of America’s working-class and blue-collar communities thanks to Trump’s populist-nationalist agenda for the United States economy. Not only have working-class Americans enjoyed the largest wage hikes out of all other economic groups, but the New York Times recently admitted that black Americans are “finally rising” after “decades of stagnation.”

Breitbart News added, “For the first time in decades, the U.S. economy has tipped toward American workers rather than employers in terms of the labor market. Today, due to less foreign competition, workers have more chances to seek out the highest-paying job. For decades, it was employers who would bid on workers.”

As of October 2019, the “blue-collar” industry enjoyed a rapid wage growth of nearly five percent. In fact, Trump had always taken pride in having the lowest unemployment rate than any U.S. presidential administration in history.

In addition, Bernie also made another false claim saying that under the Trump administration, as much as 87 million Americans remain uninsured. “Half of our people are living paycheck to paycheck,” Sanders said. He continued to say that “87 million Americans have no health insurance or are underinsured.”

The problem is that Sanders’s numbers were incorrect. According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, as of December 2019, only 46 million Americans do not have health insurance.

The Commonwealth Fund survey also reported that as of February 2019 “People who are “underinsured” have high health plan deductibles and out-of-pocket medical expenses relative to their income and are more likely to struggle to pay medical bills or to skip care because of cost. Among adults who were insured all year, 29 percent were underinsured in 2018, up from 23 percent in 2014,” according to results from the Commonwealth’s Fund’s latest Biennial Health Insurance Survey.

While most people are asking how Sanders will fund his multitrillion-dollar campaign proposals such ash the Green New Deal, free college and housing for all, the Senator released a fact sheet which explains that he plans to do so by cutting military spending, generating even more taxes, and enacting policies for the fossil industry.
