Here are the economic facts that matter and not your rightwing bullshit:

1) The middle class is diminishing while the poor are getting more poor. 78% of workers report living paycheck to paycheck because the cost of living is WAY behind on the rate of inflation.

2) A half of a dozen people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of workers COMBINED.

3) The American child poverty rate is the worst out of all other developed nations.

Uh-huh. So Markle gives you tons of good news about our economy and you respond with denials and Socialist-Loons-R-Us.com squawking points. And you still wonder why socialism and socialist candidates are dropping like rocks in water and why people think you are a moron, Comrade B? Next you'll be admitting the news actually is all good but as one former POTUS says, we must credit him for it.

It’s not misogynistic. It’s a fact.

Two observations..

1) Warren is NOT a good test case for "female President"...
2) Tell the Dems that are whining about sexism and lack of diversity in their finalists, that THEIR party must be misogynistic and racist and it aint YOUR fault..

Sorry there's a third...
3) Think we'll ever see a doomed Dem candidate who ACCEPTS their responsibility for the loss without claiming victimhood???

It's getting old and tired...

Whining is required of all Dems. Sniveling is also appreciated as are denial, projection, and seething hatred for America and Americans.

Bill Maher doesn't even try to hide his disdain & disloyalty. Like many on the left he doesn't care who gets hurt as long as his mindless hatred is served:

Liberal Media Scream: Bill Maher cheers economic collapse if it dooms Trump
“I’ve been hoping for a recession — people hate me for it — but it would get rid of Trump, so you shouldn’t hate me for it.”
To which, Barro noted: “Recessions are really bad. People lose their jobs and their homes.”
Maher doubled down: “I know. It’s worth it.”

Fug 'em. Democrats like Billy0 are traitors … every stinkin' one of 'em.

She has no other choice but to support Biden. Bernie badmouthed her and like they say, "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

I have a pet theory here. Stay with me.. You know the effort to get Trump removed by 25th amendment right? SURELY Biden is gonna be manipulated and played like a puppet by the people the party supply to work around him.. He is also COMPROMISED with a lot of blackmailable baggage..

So as soon he tries to assert his weak minded compromised self and gets in their way, they WILL 25th amendment him.. All this assuming he wins.. And the DNC will choose his VP accordingly...

PREFERABLY a female, person of color or BOTH obviously.. And to keep the Bernie fans from rioting -- the person needs to be as FAR to the radical left as possible... Who's available??

Well Warren, Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrahms. But DNC MIGHT push an Obama choice into the VP slot like Duvall Patrick whose name was floated about the time that Bloomberg declared...

That HAS to be the doomsday plan at this point.. VP pick for Biden is of the utmost importance...

Doesn't matter … you have a far better chance of being hit by lightning twice in the next 15 seconds than Slo-Joe has of ever being POTUS.

[basquebromance]

there's one thing women who run for president have not and will never experience: VICTORY!

 

[Andylusion]

Nothing like becoming aware after watching friends and co workers lose jobs, homes and families. Giving illegal aliens sanctuary because....er, its "Humanitarian". Orwellian double think, we pity the poor Mexican families broken up but don't give a shit about harm they created? All the jobs the homes and families they destroyed? Learn to Code? OK, IMMIGRATE LEGALLY and stop pretending it's about racism, then. Ditto.

My experience was rather early. It as the minimum wage hike of 1995-1996, or whenever. I was working at McDonalds. The first thing they did, was lay off 3 part-time workers. Instantly three people lost their jobs.

Then the rest of us had to take up the slack in labor. So the rest of us, who were already earning more than minimum wage, had to do more work, and we got zero pay increased.

Then I watched as McDonald's started to increase prices. Now they didn't increase prices immedeately... they increased them by reducing serving sizes. The small fry, got even smaller. The medium fry was reduced in size to small, and the large fry ended up being a medium in size.

After a year or two, they introduced a new larger size, with a new larger price... and change all the names.

They did the same with drinks.

Wendy's did the same thing. The Biggie fry and drink, became what is now the large. The large became a medium/regular. And the medium/regular became the small.

All the stores did this.

What I realized was, the minimum wage did almost nothing for the working people, but it reduced jobs, and increased prices. I watched that first hand.

After that, I started reading books, like Economics in One Lession, and Thomas Sowell.... and I never went back to left-wing ideology, after I realized it was all built on myths. The myth that if you jack up the price of labor, that somehow the rich will pay for it, when in reality the working people, and the consumers are the ones who pay for it.

All left-wing ideology is built on this myth.

Even after the 2009 minimum wage hike from $5.25 to $7.25, the news media outlets were flipping out because they found that food producers were reducing the net weight of food. That box of cheerios, may be the same physical size, but they reduced the net weight of the food in it... to pay for labor cost increases.

Economics in a picture for no-info leftards:

This coming from idiots who elect the GOP and have taxes cut on rich people expecting that to “trickle down” to them. Sure. Any day now.

Look at every single thing you own in your entire life, from the clothes you wear, to the computer you are using, and everything else.

If trickle down is not working, then explain what poor impoverished beggar provided all those things you use every single day?

Additionally, look at every single job that is created in this entire country. From the burger flipper at the whopper shop, to the engineer, accountant, and surgeon at a hospital.

If trickle down is not working, then explain what poor impoverished beggar has provided all those jobs?

Every time you try and insult the GOP or right-wingers on economic matters, you only serve to prove conclusively to everyone on this forum, and anyone else that hears your stupidity, that you are utterly ignorant and incompetent on this topic.

You’re so dense dude. I’m not saying capitalism doesn’t work. Yes, there was a time when everyone benefitted from a strong supply side. That is no longer relevant. In this day and age, only a handful of people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of of workers. Meanwhile, 78% of workers reporting living paycheck to paycheck. If the federal minimum wage had kept up with inflation and the cost of living, it would be over $20 per hour. There has to be balance to the economy for it to work and right now that isn’t a thing is it?

But none of that changes the fact that trickle down is how the entire planet works.

Every bit of wealth that you own... every single thing... came from someone wealthy. Every single thing! Clothing is a form of wealth. Computers are a form of wealth. Services like connecting to the internet is a form of wealth. The house, or apartment you live in, is a form of wealth. I assume you are inside some sort of housing.

EVERYTHING... came from a rich guy. That's trickle down in action.

Equally every single job, throughout the entire country... is not provided by the poor. They are provided by the rich.

Even government jobs, are honestly provided by the rich, given nearly all the income tax, and the corporate, and the estate tax, nearly all tax, is paid for by the rich. So even a government job, is provided by the rich.

If you have a paycheck at all.... small or large.... that paycheck is trickle down in action.

So every time you complain about people who believe in trickle down, YOU are utterly ignorant.

And on top of that, this is true of every country. Name one country, anywhere on the face of the Earth, where wealth is trickling up? Even in Venezuela or Cuba.... what little wealth they have, where does it come from? Impoverished beggars? What few jobs, and what little food that is produced in either of them, you think it's the impoverished making it?

No. Trickle down is how the planet works. There is no other system than trickle down. None. The more you encourage that system, the more wealth you have. The more you hinder that system, the less wealth. It's that simple.

So either way.... tickle down is how it works everywhere. So no, there "was a time" is not the answer. All time, including the present is when people benefit from tickle down. There has never been a time, when it did not benefit everyone. If you have clothes to wear, food to eat, and computer come on a forum and complain about it... then you are benefiting from trickle down right now, as we speak.

only a handful of people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of of workers. Meanwhile, 78% of workers reporting living paycheck to paycheck. If the federal minimum wage had kept up with inflation and the cost of living, it would be over $20 per hour. There has to be balance to the economy for it to work and right now that isn’t a thing is it?

This was always true. Only a handful of people have always owned the vast majority of the wealth. And this has been true throughout all human history as well. Since the dawn of human existence, this is how it has been, and it always will be.

78% of workers report living paycheck to paycheck? Whose fault is that? Live within your means. If you can't afford it, don't buy it.

When I was making $20,000 a year, I didn't live paycheck to paycheck. If I can live within my means, making $20,000 a year, when the median income is $48,000 a year, then that means you are doing something wrong.

Still doesn't change the fact that all those people who have a paycheck, got it from a wealthy person. Trickle down is how they got a paycheck, whether they are smart enough to live within their means or dumb enough to live paycheck to paycheck. No trickle down, means they wouldn't have a paycheck, and if you think living paycheck to paycheck is bad, trying living without any paycheck.

And as far as 50% of the people not owing much wealth... again, whose fault is that? Buy some stock. Right now is a the perfect time to buy stock. I personally increased my contributions into stocks. The stock market has taken a dive because of the corona virus. Stocks are on sale. Open an IRA, and put some money into a Stock Mutual Fund with a 10-year track record.

Then *YOU* can be part of the wealth owning class like me. You put $100 a month, in to a stock mutual fund from age 20 to 60, and you will be a millionaire, or close to it.

This is problem with people like you. You don't invest your money, and then you want to complain that the rich own everything. How dumb is that?

"I never invest, and I'm pissed off that only the rich investors have investments!"
Do you not see the stupidity of that statement?

Stop whining, and start investing.

Regardless... that doesn't change the fact that tickle down is still how every single person ends up wealthy. No one wakes up, getting billions of dollars from poor people. Everyone starts by making money off of wealthy people.

Trickle down is how the world works. It always has. Always will be. When you show me some country, where people are getting jobs from impoverished beggars, and are able to buy a house, or buy a car, built and sold by impoverished beggars, then you can come back, and we'll talk about it. But we both know, whether you admit it or not, that no such society anywhere exists, or ever has in human history, or ever will.

Denmark, the holy grail of the myth of Democratic Socialism... is home to the Lego Company. The dynasty that runs that company, live like the super wealthy. The poor people of Denmark, live like poor people. All the wealth you can buy in Denmark, is created by the rich. All jobs in Denmark are created by the rich. Trickle down is how everything in Denmark works, just like here.... just like everywhere.

For you to even attempt to claim the America is any worse off now than it was before is ridiculous. The poorest working people, have bigger homes, more appliances, more services, and more material wealth, than the middle class of most European countries.

If you make by yourself, or have a combined income with your spouse, of just $32,000 a year, that places you in the top 1% of wage earners on the planet.

You implied, ridiculously that things were more equal in US history. That is unbelievably ignorant.

Most of the poor people in the past, didn't have access to a horse, and were pooping in a hole in the ground, while the extremely wealthy had a team of horses, and coaches with 'drivers' taking them where they wanted.

Poor people lived in shacks, if they were lucky enough to even own property. Homestead houses were garbage at best. Leaving people to get wet when it rained, and freezing when it snowed.

Wealthy had wood burning stoves, and crude forms of insulation, though often they wouldn't even need it because they owned multiple homes, and would travel to warmer climate during the winter.

The poor often never left the place of their birth, and traveling was a joke. You were born on the farm, lived on the farm, and died on that farm. Only the rich could travel, and take a vacation.

When you look at the real hard practical differences between the rich, and the lower and middle class of the 1600, 1700, and even 1800s.... you are talking night and day. The poorest of people could not even imagine the difference between themselves and the rich.

But today? There is far less of a difference between the rich and lower and middle class. Far far less. My parents were nothing but public school teachers. They own a lake house, on Lake Erie. They have taken month long trips, three separate times through Europe. I could not begin to list all the things that two school teaches have done in their lives.

The lower and middle class people take Caribbean cruises, and fly to other countries, and they own cars, and have high speed internet, and smart phones, and on and on.

Here's a simple one. Going out to eat, at a restaurant. You think the middle class of the 1600-1800s was doing that? No they most certainly were not. Now, even the poorest of people can go out to eat routinely.

So if you think that the difference between the rich and poor, is greater today, than it was in history... you are unbelievably mistaken. You have no idea how good you have it, compared to the past.

Younger and Minority Workers Lead Wage Gains as Expansion Ages
Oct. 17, 2019, 8:59 AM

A tightening labor market with U.S. unemployment rate at a 50-year low is starting to result in higher wages for full-time workers, including younger people and minorities whose pay has lagged.

Median weekly earnings for Americans in the third quarter rose 3.6% to $919, outpacing inflation, the U.S. Labor Department reported Wednesday. Earnings for those aged 25 to 54, in their prime working years, rose by 5%, the fastest rate of growth in recent years.

Record-low black unemployment cheered by black activists
Published 1 month ago on September 9, 2019

[...]

“Love him or hate him, this is an incredible economic accomplishment for the President and a tremendous benefit for American blacks,” said Project 21 member Derryck Green.

Along with a reported third straight month of 3.7 percent overall unemployment, the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) August jobs report noted that the overall black unemployment rate fell half-a-percent to 5.5 percent. This is the lowest black unemployment rate ever recorded. BLS began reporting employment statistics by race in 1972. And with overall white unemployment at 3.4 percent, it is also the smallest reported gap between the races ever in terms of joblessness. Until recently, the racial employment disparity between blacks and whites has generally held to a 2-1 margin.

US-China phase 1 trade deal: Beijing agrees to buy $200 billion in US products
By Michelle Toh, CNN Business
11 hrs ago [Jan 16. 2020]

China has agreed to buy hundreds of billions of dollars worth of products from the United States as part of their "phase one" trade deal.

The agreement signed Wednesday will have Beijing purchase an additional $200 billion of US goods and services over the next two years.

The increase in purchases will be compared to 2017, before the trade war started. China imported over $185 billion in total US goods and services that year.

In exchange, Washington has agreed to reduce tariffs on $120 billion in Chinese products from 15% to 7.5%.

Taken together, the phased purchases by China would result in a dramatic surge in US exports. Total exports to China would increase to over $260 billion in 2020, and roughly $310 billion in 2021 if the deal holds

More MAGA Winning: Gallup Poll Has NEVER Recorded This Level Of Economic Optimism

Written by K. Walker on February 6, 2020

[...]

Americans feel better about their personal financial situation than they did under Obama, Clinton, or even Reagan. This year-to-year number has been rising since 2018 and has hit a 44-year record high according to Gallup’s “Mood of the Nation” economic survey. Gallup reports that 59% of Americans — nearly six in 10 — say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago, which is up from 50% last year.

[...]

There has also been a sharp decline in the percentage of people who say that they are financially worse off than a year ago. Only 20% of Americans are stating that as their financial reality, and that is a record low.

Here are the economic facts that matter and not your rightwing bullshit:

1) The middle class is diminishing while the poor are getting more poor. 78% of workers report living paycheck to paycheck because the cost of living is WAY behind on the rate of inflation.

2) A half of a dozen people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of workers COMBINED.

3) The American child poverty rate is the worst out of all other developed nations.

Again, if you live pay check to pay check, that's on you. I know people who earn more than me, who live pay check to pay check. Stop blowing your money on crap. I was saving money, and investing in stocks, when I was only earning $20,000 a year.

If I can make less than half the median wage, and not live paycheck to paycheck, what is the other 78% of the countries excuse? You are not living within your means. Stop.

Further, if the poor are getting more poor, then they are doing something wrong. How do you get more poor over time? If you are working at straight 40 hours a week at Wendy's for more than a year, you should be a manager already. If you are there for more than 2 years, you should be working your way up to store manager. If you are there for 5 years, you ought be applying to be Wendy's corporate by then.

And this is true of nearly any job. So what have you been doing, that you are somehow earning less money?

And if you are doing something, that makes you undesirable to employers, so that you spend years at the same job, and never get a pay raise..... then that is on you, for being a garbage employee.

A half of a dozen people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of workers COMBINED.

That's normal. Been true for all human history. If you want more people to own more wealth, then stop blowing your money, and start investing. If every single person invested just $100 a month, that reality above, would be flipped over in under a year.

Stop complaining that others are investing their wealth, when you refuse to invest yours. You can't sit there, and say "No, I don't want any cake", and then turn around and say "The rich are eating all the cake!".

One or the other. Get your butt into investments, or stop complaining about those who do. Warren Buffet was investing at age 10. I could have blown his money on games, but instead he was buying stocks.

The American child poverty rate is the worst out of all other developed nations.

Really..... that's why we have child obesity problem, because they are so poor and impoverished, that end up too fat to move.

When we start seeing children literally dying of starvation in the country with the most known oil reserves on the planet, like.... Venezuela.... when we start seeing that here in the US, let me know, and I'll worry about child poverty.

Of course, if people like you take over the government, we will have children starving to death, with all your anti-wealth crap you keep spewing.

You’re so dense dude. I’m not saying capitalism doesn’t work. Yes, there was a time when everyone benefitted from a strong supply side. That is no longer relevant. In this day and age, only a handful of people own more wealth than the bottom 50% of of workers. Meanwhile, 78% of workers reporting living paycheck to paycheck. If the federal minimum wage had kept up with inflation and the cost of living, it would be over $20 per hour. There has to be balance to the economy for it to work and right now that isn’t a thing is it?

The economy today is NOT working? WOW, WHO KNEW? You better alert the news because you're the only one who believes that to be true. But WE'RE the ones who are dense? Got it!

America Created 266,000 Jobs in November
JOHN CARNEY 6 Dec 2019

The imaginary recession of 2019 is over.

The U.S. economy added 266,000 jobs for the month and the unemployment rate fell to 3.5 percent, matching the lowest level in 50 years.

Economists had expected the economy to add 180,000 jobs and for unemployment to remain unchanged at 3.6 percent, according to Econoday.

Adding to the picture of strength for the labor market, previous jobs numbers were revised up. September’s figure was revised up by 13,000 to 193,000. October was revised up by 28,000 to 156,000. Together, that adds 41,000 more jobs than previously reported.

More MAGA Winning: Gallup Poll Has NEVER Recorded This Level Of Economic Optimism
Written by K. Walker on February 6, 2020

[...]

Americans feel better about their personal financial situation than they did under Obama, Clinton, or even Reagan. This year-to-year number has been rising since 2018 and has hit a 44-year record high according to Gallup’s “Mood of the Nation” economic survey. Gallup reports that 59% of Americans — nearly six in 10 — say that they are better off financially than they were a year ago, which is up from 50% last year.

There has also been a sharp decline in the percentage of people who say that they are financially worse off than a year ago. Only 20% of Americans are stating that as their financial reality, and that is a record low.
