So oil prices crash from $100/barrel to $30/barrel and incomes grow at their fastest clip ever.

I guess what it shows is that the commodity people were literally just wringing money out of hte pockets of everyone below them.. and they got away with it for 41 years except for a couple brief periods in the mid 80s and the late 90s.  (when incomes also grew for the poor.. the only time since 1973)

This data is fishy, for one thing. For another, the last thing she should do is stand up and pretend things are  great. Out of touch as can be.

So when Hillary brings up and uses data to show the power of the economy, she's out of touch. But when Trump lies every other sentence, he's just "speaking from the gut".
