This is true, But tax money never finds its way to decent ordinary peopleIncreased taxes never help good people... In fact the opposite is trueThere’s elementary flaws in your analysis....First of all, the market couldn’t have sucked under the Kenyan as we were emerging from a great recession. During those 110 months, the Kenyan was pumping trillions of our cash into the U.S. economy...there was nowhere to go but up and up on an insane trajectory.....Just as employment numbers start to shrink as we near ‘full employment’ so to does market growth as we reach the peak.
Sure, it could have kept going down, it was not done going down when Obama took office, so it could have indeed kept going. Is the money that Obama pumped into the economy any different than the trillion that Trump pumped into it this year with his tax cuts.
Increased debt is never good for a people either. Responsible people pay for what they have, they do not leave the bill for the children and grandchildren.
Obamacare made millions go into bankruptcy because they could not afford itObamacare devastated millions of conservatives lives....I’d like to direct this question to the anti Trump folks with U.S. citizenship status for obvious reasons.
Given the amount of over the top outrage we’ve witnessed over a two year period one would think the haters will be able to post a laundry list of things here.....BUT I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess there will be very little participation from the Left in this one.
GO!
I will say the only POTUS in my lifetime that had an actual direct negative impact on my life was Bush II and his invasion of Iraq. I lost friends and fellow Marines. Before it was all over one of the Marines I put in as a recruiter had died in Iraq, that is something one does not ever forget.
Had no impact on me at all, though it did make my wife's job as a nurse much harder.

That's bullshit, just a talking point with no basis of fact. The fact is that personal bankruptcy went down by some 50% after the passage of the ACA, though I do not think it was the ACA that was the reason. The bigger problem with the ACA is that it drove hospitals into bankruptcy, that is the legacy that nobody talks about but should be focusing on.

Conservatives were devastated by Obamacare, meaning they got nothing out of it and still had to pay for the shit
True, We’ve had over 100 years of career politicians in the highest offices of the land. It has been a 100% failure. I think Albert Einstein said once… Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results… Insanity?This is true, But tax money never finds its way to decent ordinary peopleIncreased taxes never help good people...

Tax money is given to the people that "we the people" have voted for and put into office. If tax money never finds its way to decent ordinary people, we have nobody to blame but ourselves.
True, that is another part of it.

I always felt the reason for the ACA was to fuck up our healthcare system so badly that the only solution would be a single payer system.

You do know that the ACA did not only apply to conservatives, right? And if you do not think that hospitals being driven out of business by the law is a problem, then I do not even know where to begin with you.
Of course Obamacare devastated hospitals all over this country, Socialism always commits suicide eventually... and a byproduct of that is a breakdown of societyConservatives wanted no part of Obamacare, because they knew they could never afford it.

For one, it gives me anxiety a moronic, whiny little bitch has access to the use of nuclear weapons. The second is that I feel completely embarrassed that this sack of garbage represents the most powerful nation on Earth. The third is that Trump and his band of corrupt/retarded GOP politicians will do absolutely NOTHING to help the middle class or poor.I’d like to direct this question to the anti Trump folks with U.S. citizenship status for obvious reasons.

Couldn't afford the deductibles, so 300m people lost healthcare because they couldn't afford to see the doctors that they were paying insurance for. As Bill Clinton said. "its the craziest system ever". Of course the 30m not paying for healthcare got to see doctors.
.....what weakens society is when the POTUS sympathizes with criminals/criminal culture like Obama didConfronting the Cost of Trump's Corruption to American Families
One of the few constants throughout the Donald J. Trump administration has been corruption. Since his first day as president, when Trump took the wholly unprecedented step of refusing to divest1 from his private businesses, his administration has been characterized by an unending effort by him, his family, and his senior advisers to abuse their political power for personal gain.
Of course, those efforts started long before Trump was elected; in just one example, Trump had the federal government pay him more than $1.5 million2 for the Secret Services’ use of his private plane during the campaign. These efforts to enrich himself and those around him continued through the inauguration, in which Trump abandoned past practice to allow for unlimited donations from wealthy individuals and corporations so he could raise record sums—reportedly more than $107 million. He then used that money to help his friends, including paying a company owned by Melania Trump’s friend and senior advisor, $26 million3 to help plan the event. To this day, some of the money raised still has not been accounted4 for.
In one near-constant reminder of Trump’s flouting of ethical requirements, he has maintained ownership of a downtown Washington, D.C., hotel that he rents from the government, effectively acting as both tenant and landlord.5 The hotel has become a hot spot6 for foreign dignitaries seeking to win favor with the new administration. And Trump uses the government to promote his properties,7 including his Mar-a-Lago resort where membership fees doubled8 to $200,000 one year after he won the presidency, giving members the chance to potentially influence the president for the cost of a membership.9
Those in Trump’s orbit have also benefited from newfound power. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, was able to obtain sizeable loans10 for his own debt-ridden real estate business after holding meetings with a private equity fund and a bank at the White House. In the case of that private equity fund, there was reportedly even discussion of its founder getting a position in the White House.11 Reports now indicate that the heavily indebted flagship Manhattan property owned by Kushner’s family will be rescued by an infusion of millions of dollars from a company linked to the government of Qatar.12 The president’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, accepted millions of dollars from foreign and domestic corporations through a shell company he established a month before the 2016 election.13 He promised access to the president to at least one corporation, and received more than half a million dollars from an entity closely tied to a sanctioned Russian oligarch after meeting with that oligarch in Trump Tower.14 He also reportedly received a secret payment of at least $400,000 to set up a meeting between the Ukrainian president and Trump15 and solicited $1 million from the government of Qatar, which Qatar declined.16
Then there’s Carl Icahn, the financier with wide-ranging financial interests, who served as Trump’s special adviser on issues relating to regulatory reform. While Icahn was an adviser to the president, he did not get paid by the White House, and thus argued he need not divest from his businesses17—much like the president. Yet he used his authority to try to advance his business interests,18 seeking regulatory changes that would help him and hurt competitors. Icahn eventually left his White House position due to scrutiny of his activities and is currently under federal investigation19 for his actions.
These actions, and many more, send a clear signal: In the Trump administration, corruption is not just accepted, it is encouraged. Trump has created a culture of corruption, where it’s expected that those with public power will wield it for private gain. And this culture has, in turn, attracted those who are themselves corrupt and seeking to profit from this opportunity.
This culture of corruption has wide-ranging effects. When the interests of the politically connected are put first, it’s at the expense of people without the means to pay for lobbyists in Washington. When the interests of foreign governments are put first, it’s at the expense of America’s safety. And when the priorities of elected leaders are shaped only by those with money or power, then the needs of the American people remain unmet.
A culture of corruption also weakens society as a whole. It leads to a perverse set of incentives, where those who are corrupt advance, while those who are honest are forced out of positions of power. It incentivizes incompetence among public officials because people are judged not by their ability to do their job, but rather on their ability to conceal or participate in unethical, and even illegal, behavior. Moreover, it weakens the societal trust that is the cornerstone of a robust economy and civil society.
