For a president who believes in "Trickle down economics" has failed...tell that to hourly wage workers...

[Smokin' OP]

The WAPO article confirms what I said

NO, it doesn't.

The oil companies do not want to invest money when a future political movement could declare Alaska off limits

Sure.............A YEAR and a half LATER?
You're FOS.

 

[elektra]

Trickle down economics has failed to bring about the Marxism democrats are working very hard to implement.

 

[j-mac]

And guess what dummies like you don't comprehend?
Those tax cuts are free $$$.
So it doesn't COST them anything.

Spoken like one who believes that the government owns our labor…

Even so, the total remains well short of the $4 trillion that President Trump said would return as a result of the 2017 tax law.

Trump gave out a $2 trillion dollar tax cut.

Sure, if you give me $2 trillion I'll give 1/2 back.


WOW..............See above

Some of the biggest winners from President Donald Trump’s new tax law are corporate executives who have reaped gains as their companies buy back a record amount of stock, a practice that rewards shareholders by boosting the value of existing shares.

Since the tax cuts were enacted, Oracle Corp. CEO Safra Catz has sold $250 million worth of shares in her company — the largest executive payday this year. Product development head Thomas Kurian sold $85 million. The sales came after the company announced a $12 billion share repurchase.

Mastercard CEO Ajay Banga sold $44.4 million of stock in May, the largest single cash-out by an executive of the company in at least 10 years, months after the company announced a $4 billion buyback of its own stock.

Two days after Eastman Chemical announced it would purchase $2 billion of its own stock, CEO Mark Costa sold 55,000 shares for $5.4 million.

US companies' tax windfall fuels record share buybacks​

U.S. corporations spent a record amount buying back their own shares last year, using 2017’s tax-cut windfall to reward shareholders rather than to invest or expand their businesses.

Companies in the S&P 500 spent $806 billion on stock buybacks in 2018, blowing away the previous record of nearly $590 billion set in 2007. The information technology and financial service sectors were the biggest spenders, with Apple leading the pack. When share prices plunged in the fourth quarter it only encouraged companies to spend more, setting a fourth consecutive quarterly record for buybacks.

Companies can return profits to shareholders either via dividends or buybacks. Buying back shares has the advantage of reducing the number of shares outstanding, which often gives a boost to closely watched financial metrics such as earnings per share.

They AREN'T creating jobs.

Then when Biden actually does...........Teabaggers WHINE.

[healthmyths]

Biden had 7000 oil leases up for anyone who wanted them, no takers . why should they drill when they can control the price of oil by not drilling. The right is so fucking stupid that it is comical.

You know that is one of the BIGGEST MYTHS generated by the biased MSM!
FACT from the people that DRILL!!!
There are more than 9,000 permits to drill oil on federal lands, as President Biden claimed.
But a variety of factors are keeping that work from getting started.
While more than 9,000 approved permits to drill on federal lands aren’t producing oil and gas,
that doesn’t mean companies could start drilling right now in all of those locations.
Regulatory processes, court decisions and oil prices all play a role in when drilling can actually begin.
At the end of 2021, there were 9,173 approved applications for drilling permits on federal and tribal lands,
according to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).
2,200 leases are in COURTS which forbids development!
According to the IPAA, some of these leases are going through a “complex regulatory process or are held up in litigation.” Western Energy Alliance, which represents hundreds of companies involved in the exploration and production of oil and natural gas, says on its website that it is defending more than 2,200 leases in court, most of which cannot be developed while the cases are ongoing.
“Federal leases…are subject to environmental studies. They're also subject to lawsuits filed by neighbors, by municipalities, by counties and state governments. And so it's become a more arduous process,” he said.
ANOTHER FACT!!!
some companies wait to begin drilling until oil prices are high enough to make it worth their while.
Another FACT!!!
Due the Covid-19 pandemic, some are facing a six-month waiting period for piping materials needed to drill and are still short-staffed after layoffs spurred by the pandemic-induced drop in demand for oil, Pett said.
All of the above are what the EXPERTS described as reasons the number 9,173 approved leases DOES NOT mean the leases are available for drilling!
FACTS folks so much so that I do not want to read another stupid comment made by people that don't deal in facts statements like.. "Biden had 7000 oil leases up for anyone who wanted them, no takers .

[HikerGuy83]

This line is a bunch of BS. Inflation is still here, it is not rising as fast but it is still here. Saying it is down, is like saying we're OK because we just survived a bomb attack, but at least it wasn't a nuclear bomb.

The phrase should be "rate of inflation".

When integrated, it shows what we have today. Prices are up 15 to 25% still. They might not be rising as fast, but the damage is done.
