Actually, I think Albertson’s was paying courtesy clerks $4 or $4.25 an hour at the time, early ’80’s.

Don't tell me you were working at Albertson's in the early/mid 80s...my cousin worked at the 21st/Memorial location for several years.  You might have crossed paths if that's the case.

Geee, that spike coincides with the surge in Iraq then drops by January '08 and the has gone up every year since now close to the price during the surge. Who was presid....... oh that's right, blame Bush.
Wait- OK,  stop & think in 2007 the democrats took over congress and everything went to heck in a hand basket, Bush wanted to open up more lands for drilling but the democrats in congress would not permit it. Nancy P became speaker of the house, is it any wonder things went to heck. Then in 2008 Obama ran for president a far left radical with Bill Ayers as his buddy and  Obama went to  church with the good Rev Wright as the minister. Like they say your known by the company you keep. The economy crashed in early 2009.

Got it.  So when the republican is in office, it's the opposition speaker's fault.  When the Democrat is in office, it's the President's fault.

Actually, by that logic, it's Boozy McOrangeface's fault.  But I guess not, since he's a Republican.

This is not rocket science just look around you, Oklahoma is booming, we have a robust economy anyone who wants a job can find one, and with more tax cuts coming our economy will grow and expand even more. Mary Fallin has Oklahoma humming like a well oiled machine, she did a great job as Governor and earned another term. The Red states are the states with growing economies, the blue states are in economic depressions why is that?

It amazes me that not once have you cited any hard evidence of such...wait, it doesn't really amaze me.

I am looking around and I don't see a boom?  I remember the last boom in Tulsa and this don't look like that.  Double digit population growth, wages skyrocketing, literally dozens of skyscrapers going up at once, airport bursting at the seams with traffic, etc. etc. Sorry, not seeing it.

Tulsa and Oklahoma City are not booming, but I'll tell you three cities I've been to recently that are booming, and they are all liberal havens; Washington DC, New York and most especially, the San Francisco Bay area. All three are growing like crazy. I lived in suburban DC as a kid and it's not even recognizable anymore. The old rough and tumble district that I remember is largely gone replaced with thousands of mid rise condos and office buildings. All of lower Manhattan seems under construction. The new Hudson Yards project going in on the west side of Manhattan is only the largest private development in American history. The city of San Francisco is actually growing so fast the city is completely overwhelmed. There are towers going up everywhere and a there's a lot of tension in the city as long time residents and businesses are pushed out by skyrocketing rents.

The last booming salary increase I got was during  the late Carter / early Reagan Administrations.  I got a nice raise just to keep my salary up with the new hires.

I don't see that as a good thing.
