Biden wants to tax American companies 15% to send to other countries.

[Lesh]

Wait...another Right Wing thread that's a lie?

Nothing is being "sent"?

 

[Indeependent]

On occasion Trump had the right idea but he was totally unable to do anything about it because of his shortcomings as a person.

If you search "Trump's" Foreign Aid, you will find that the packages were passed by Congress even though they were frowned upon by Trump.
The House controls money, not the Senate or President.

Your dismissal of the ramifications of the trillions pumped into the markets while condemning those who got a little extra.

Okay, let's look at that:

Where is your IRA? Mine is in the market and has been for over 25 years now. Who is pumping this money into the market? The federal reserve which nobody really has control over.

How do businesses expand? They use investor money to do that in many cases. When they do, jobs are created. Equipment must be purchased, buildings must be erected, people need to be hired. Do we borrow this money like we do when Congress spends money? Some of it, but most of it comes from banks since the federal reserve is the major bank of the country.

Now let's move to green costs. Where do they get the money? They borrow it of course and it eventually gets added to our national debt. Who does it benefit? Nobody really, but it makes the green people a little happier, at least temporarily. In reality green increases the cost of our fuel making it difficult for lower income people to survive. Solar and windmills take up thousands of square miles of land that could otherwise be used for humans and better things. Windmills are noisy and kills birds. Solar panels have a lifespan and need to be disposed of eventually. But again, it makes a small group of people happy.

I posted a link noting what foreign aid was. Exactly the same under Trump as it always was. What I replied to was a statement saying Trump cut foreign aid. He did not. Now Trump signed off on every single one of those bills.

As I then said, Trump said lots of things but actually followed through on very little.

I could have made 20 bazillion dollars with the pumping and it's totally irrelevant as to how it affected prices. It's not about me but that's all you got.

Did Trump have the support even within his own party to change things he wanted changed?

I see that point flew over your head.

Bottom line is a strong stock market helps most if not all people either directly or indirectly. Green energy doesn't do that. Us spending money for green only buys votes for the Democrat party and nothing more.

And once Biden gets done with our country, that 20 bazillion dollars may buy you a loaf of bread....

 

[pknopp]

The argument was that he did change it.

What we did to create the new bubble increased prices.

He did what he was able to do; even Biden is not a dictator.
A lot of things Trump did made my life better and a lot of things Obama did made my life better.
Everything GW and his dad did made my life worse.

Maybe so but that has nothing to do with what I replied to. I didn't vote for Biden so it's really irrelevant as far as bringing that up to me.

 

[pknopp]

Veto. He did not do what he could do.

Nope!

So, you think he was a king?

Well, will your independence save you from the poverty we are going to experience or something?

 

[Meister]

You have no clue what socialism is. Republicans have used the word socialism and communism to brand policies that they are opposed to. Socialism is whewn the government owns the means of production. No one is proposing this.

What you're referring to is communism. Educate yourself.

 

[pknopp]

So, you think he was a king?

He had a veto but again, the argument I replied to was that he did cut it. The rest is simply you and others making excuses for that lie.

 

[pknopp]

Not at all. You pretending it's only one side taking us there doesn't make that true.

Ok, it’s all shit…what’s your solution?
