Average Americans are hurting. According to the left they were left behind in favor of the rich!

[Ray From Cleveland]

A lot of the homeless problem is tied to our terrible drug usage problem. In a lot of cases, companies drug test, so these addicts can't find work. Others are just so strung out they couldn't get work even if they didn't have to drug test.

Until we can find a way to stop the importation of drugs, I think the homeless problem is only going to get worse, because we have more OD deaths every year as an indicator.

I've personally known more than a few homeless. And like you said, invariably there are drugs and alcohol involved. Many of them don't even want the responsibility of a home, a relationship, or other things. They feel as if they are free to do what they want to, as long as they're living on the streets, panhandling, selling themselves for sexual favors, and getting high every night.

You did? That's to bad.

I didn't do that, but I've some dealings with homeless people. Let's just say that my association with some women caused me to be entangled in a drug problem 16 years ago. I almost became homeless myself, but by the Grace of God, didn't.

I've been clean and sober for 13 years now and own my own home on 100 acres of land.

And to think, it's ten times worse now than it was 13 years ago. It will be ten times worse than today if we don't put more effort into stopping it.

Agree, nobody deserves to be treated like crap. Americans won't work...we are ALL crank heads. Ahemm.Lets clear air here. Explain to me in the late 80s before the" all Americans are lazy meth addicts" myths , why did our Democratically elected officials give sanctuary to illegal aliens without our consent or the democratic process? Not because it benefited big money contractors? Heaven forfend.

The goal of the Democrat party is to make whites a minority ASAP, and they won't let anything stop them. Every other group outside of whites vote a majority Democrat, or even heavily Democrat, so it's imperative to get rid of whites.

When and if they accomplish that, they will have the ability to turn our country into a single-party government with no opposition forever. By then we will be socialist, and eventually communist.

The Communist Party said they would eventually take over the United States, but without one shot being fired. They will take over from within, and that's what we are witnesses of today unless they can be stopped.

Black Friday shoppers spend record $7.4 billion in second largest online sales day ever

Oops, how did this happen!?

Second biggest online shopping day in US history.

Credit. Savings rates have been in negative 4 years. Started going downhill in 1982... Overall wealth has gone up but inequality and upward Mobility have never been worse anywhere. The rich are bloated. When do you figure this out?

 

[bodecea]

Confused about why the left were so confident yet so wrong.

That is utterly american which is why your "two" sides have nothing but whining fecklessly about the "other".

So you are not American?

Why should anyone bother talking to you if that's the case?

haha, what’s the problem gramps? Can’t talk to somebody unless they are an American? What’s up with that?

The opinions of foreigners are irrelevant to American politics.

Born and raised in the same county of MO as Rush Limbaugh pard.

So sorry....must be embarrassing.

The Productivity–Pay Gap

Link takes the data out to 2019, enjoy.

Step 1. Obfuscate with charts
Step 2. Derail the thread
Step 3. Troll wins

Data is your enemy.

Not really.

Not knowing what the data means is his enemy. Consumers having to wait for massive sales is not a great sign. Neither is it a great sign in the context of the trade war we’re losing.


It’s sort of like pointing to a QB throwing a record number of passing yards.

Americans are hurting bigtime. Average Americans can't afford housing anymore. This is a question? But its ok "we" (who is THAT IS anyone's guess) give sanctuary to illegal aliens or jobs or whatever. Anyone remember the last time YOU got to vote for um, sanctuary for illegal aliens? I bet that happened a lot I just was away or missed it. Name that time You got to vote FOR a specific issue that was on a ballot measure # that you can remember that gave illegal aliens sanctuary from federal law. I don't remember it ever being asked. Anybody?

You are asked when you vote. You know what the liberals are all about. If you vote them in, you get things like serious gun restrictions, sanctuary cities, high taxation, attacks on religion, high cost of living, expensive energy, all that. If you vote conservative Republican, you get the opposite.

We don't get to decide every issue. That's what you elect representatives for. It's their job to make those decisions.

 

[LeftofLeft]

And all signs point to cyber Monday breaking that record. Because as you know only the rich shop then, right!

Liberals pretty much inherently define anyone working with an income these days as “rich”.

The point is that the people of NOLA ignored the warnings because they had heard them for too long...

No, Mayor Ray Nagin (now serving time in prison for corruption) waited too long to issue the mandatory evacuation order. Hundreds of school buses were left flooded in parking lots. Train and bus services had offered to transport people out of the city at no charge. For safety, all their vehicles had already left New Orleans before Nagin issued his order. In a just world, he'd have been convicted of manslaughter!

Defeating ISIS?

Questionable.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

Energy independence?

Has nothing to do with Trump.

Making NATO pay their share?

has not happened yet./

Secure borders?

has not happened yet.

Moving the US Embassy to Jerusalem

meaningless gesture with no impact on our lives at all.

Why you so silly?

Nato states will increase their defence spending by $100 billion in response to Donald Trump's demands that European allies shoulder a greater financial burden, the alliance's secretary general has said.

Who exactly are they now "paying their fair share" to?

Has the spending increased yet in those nations?

And more importantly, how does this help us, the citizens of the US? They agreed to spend more money on their own military, so does that mean we can spend less now? Will Trump cut our own defense speeding an equal amount?

How does that happen in an economy that is supposedly doing so well?

Why can't we get the kinds of raises we haven't seen in years?

So, then offer the evidence they have already increased their defense budget, not just promised to do so.

Even though that does not equate to "paying a fair share".

Geeze, dude. You are an idiot. Even if 100% of the 2019 holiday season uptick in consumer spending was put on their charge cards, it just proves how confident American shoppers are in the Trump economy.

You always seem to overlook the obvious. That's probably why you lost in 2016 and will lose again in 2020.

Given that inflation is at near-record lows, why should anyone get a raise for doing exactly the same thing they did last year and the year before?

Following this post, please post the inflation rate in the US over the past year.

Funny thing is, what if this shopping season proved to be dismal? What would the left be saying about that?

They like to put you in a damed if you are, and damed if your not situation.

Ain't that the truth? I'm surprised they didn't jump all over my thread yesterday, about Trump signing an EO to display the POW/MIA flag on govt. buildings.

Not a single one of them mentioned "bone spurs" or some other idiotic garbage.

No, that's dumb. If americans were not taking on record debt, then it would be different.
