"Idiot. Making shit up, bigtime."

The only idiot here would be you.

Job creation was very slow. We only recently exceeded employment of 2001, and that didn't take into account population growth. The real gdp growth rate rose to a peak in 2005, ever since then it has been stagnant at best. Usually declining.

Average wages have, in fact, declined.

Although there was a small increase for higher wage brackets.

So the economic growth has not benefited those drawing a paycheck.
