    The bottom 10th percentile covers people making less than $22,880, according to BLS.

    That firmly excludes the median American household, by wages. The vast majority of Americans were not helped by that number. Is it good that it happened? Yeah, absolutely. It wasn’t Biden though. And it isn’t most Americans. And it isn’t the economy as a whole.
