Nu
Exactly correct! Now, can we talk about inflation?
What were our two 3% "riases" in real terms, vs. inflation over the same two years?
You cannot restore anything by only making 'small incremental steps' when you account for inflation over the same time period.
What does a car, or a house, or a year of instate college cost today, vs. 1998?
We are today making 1998 pay rates, un-adjusted for inflation!
