Bernie Sanders staffer Warren Gunnels was trying to dunk on Boomers who are understandably pissed off about having to foot the bill for student debt they didn’t take on. Truth be told, GenX isn’t exactly thrilled about it either BUT he was rolling here so ...

Boomer: But why can't the slackers pay for college & pay off their loans like we did?
Garsh! That sounds awful.
Except his math is ... off.
Even Twitter corrected him.
Heh.
Heh heh heh heh heh ... when even the uber-leftist Twitter mods are eager to correct a Bernie staffer, you KNOW that Bernie guy is really, really STOOPID!.
Oops.
Gotta adjust for inflation all around to make an accurate comparison.
Womp-womp.
He got very fussy with being corrected.

Okay, Dude ... you still don't understand where you screwed up, even when it is pointed out to you, directly ... so, you're still STOOPID.
The DAMN receipts.
Temper temper.
Warren Gunnels (@GunnelsWarren) ~Some have asked what happens when wages & prices are both adjusted for inflation? Here you go:
Real Minimum Wage
1973: $10.70
2022: $7.25
Real Median Home Price
1973: $201,976
2022: $433,100
Real Tuition & Fees at University of California
1973: $1,043
2022: $13,104 & rising ...
And you're still making the same STOOPID mistake. Gunnels, you ride the short bus, don'tcha?
We’re starting to understand why he works for Bernie.
max (@MaxNordau) ~ {Replying to @GunnelsWarren} FYI this isn’t correct.
max (@MaxNordau) ~ {Replying to @GunnelsWarren} Didn't even say it impolitely. This is who Bernie Sanders has advising him.
Someone is sensitive.
Poor fella.
Yeah, Gunnels big time mad 'cuz he proved himself to be an idiot on Twitter.
Bill Abely (@Bill_Abely) ~ {Replying to @GunnelsWarren} You used inflation adjusted dollars for wages and unadjusted for all costs. This is a complete waste of time. What is the purpose of this blatant dishonesty? Oh wait, you are a staff director for @BernieSanders - that explains it.
Boomieleaks (@Boomieleaks) ~ {Replying to @GunnelsWarren} Average weekly wage in 1973 was not $873, ok. It was like $100. He adjusted the nominal wage up for inflation but didn’t adjust any other prices.
His point about Boomers wouldn’t work if he didn’t ... MATH IS HARD, MAN.
Yeah, 'cuz the only point Gunnels has is the one on top of his head.
Georgia B Dollman (@gbdollman) ~ {Replying to @GunnelsWarren} Minimum wage in 1973 was $1.60. You are way off. The reason tuition is ridiculously expensive is because of the Fed. govt. involvement.
This is true, college didn’t get crazy expensive until the government got involved.
Which is pretty consistent with any and all things government-related.
