The myth of a "booming" economy that benefits everyone....

[nat4900]

It was the Republican Congress led by Newt Gingrich.

I thought YOUR ilk ONLY respected the executive branch and that congress was just there for doing nothing........like now?

The Congress is doing something right now. They are thinking of scams to get at the President, and now AG Barr. They are spending all their time on that instead of doing their job or what's best for the country.

Democrats are party first and country second. Never forget that.

 

[nat4900]

You idiot worthless stupid Moon Bat welfare queens always bitch about everything.

Have you tried an enema???

 

[nat4900]

Democrats are party first and country second. Never forget that.

THE above REFUTES anything that you may spew.......Democrats are actually divided into at least 3 segments......arguing with one another on virtually every issue (including impeaching the orange buffoon).....REPUBLICANS resembles storrump will call them names......

What a fucking joke.

What a fucking joke.

The only argument Dems have with each other is who could out-communist the other. They work in unison. They march to the same drumbeat. And I defy you to find me one issue of theirs that didn't directly or indirectly benefit themselves or their party.

And sadly it will never happen again..never again will a Congress from one party work with the POTUS of the other. Clinton was the last time we have seen it and it will not happen again.

Now compromise and bipartisanship are bad words and will get a person "primaried".

Of course it won't happen. Democrats keep wanting to spend money on Socialism and Republicans are the exact opposite. Look at the people running for President today! Free college, the US government pay all current college debt, Medicare for all. It's all government dependency. That's what they want to spend our money on. So how can we ever balance the budget yet alone start working on the debt?

We want to lift the have nots up a few pegs so they can join republicans in the riches that America has to offer Republicans with their jackboots insist on keeping them down

Keeping them down how? It's the Republicans who want to bring those at the bottom up. It's the Democrats who want to bring those on the top down. Just listen to what they're running on. More taxes. We want to tax the rich for this program, we want to tax the rich for that program........ they think the rich can support all of their vote buying giveaways.

How many multi billion dollar corporations pay no taxes How many billionaires use loop holes only they can to scam the system?

It's not scamming the system if you are doing it legally. Collectively, corporations have saved over 20 billion dollars under Trumps new plan. However. we have the lowest unemployment in nearly 50 years and new records being broken all the time.

To give you an idea of how much 20 billion is. It's about three months of what we spend on food stamps.

I know it's mostly legal under our laws BUT who makes those laws ?? THIMK,,,,lol

Loopholes have been around longer than you or I have been alive. Yes, they change depending on who is running the government at the time. But think for a second: without loopholes, what other way would corporations be able to make more money?

Okay. The top 20% pay 87% of all collected income taxes in the US. If they are not paying their fair share, what should they be paying?

[Uncensored2008]

I have to hand it to the Trump swamp for their effectiveness in bullshitting a huge portion of this nation into believing that Trump is an economic "genius."

First, few republicans would readily admit that Trump inherited a pretty good economy from Obama; THAT would take some courage and we all know that they're too scared to show a spine.

Second, we have had to increase our huge debt by almost $2 TRILLION to basically benefit the very rich among us getting a PERMANENT tax cut which was used to buy back stock.....and less than 20% of Americans have any dealings with Wall Street.......AND, always remember what Trump told his wealthy friends at Mar-a-Lago after passing the tax scam..."I just made you guys a lot richer"....

Third, despite the rhetoric, wages increases are a damn joke.......with some fiscal quarters showing an increase of .07% and some others at 3%.......Look at it this way, for some families living on the minimum wage, the wage increase boils down to maybe $2 per day.

Fourth, the Feds are being "threatened" by Trump's tweets to NOT raise interest rates although inflation is a looming probability that will eventually hit our economy like an avalanche.

Fifth, the trade deals have been an abject failure, from NAFTA 2.0 to Americans farmers having to be subsidized for their rotting harvests and dairy farmers' profits being cut by 60%.

IF the only praises of a Trump administration is the "thriving" economy during the next election cycle, reality is going to be a real bitch.

Too bad that the 1% got far richer under Barry than they have under Trump, Gnat! Who do you think rode the stock market back from it's lows to it's highs with money they were able to borrow for next to nothing because THEY had credit? Duh?

As for the Fed? I don't really have a problem with them raising rates. It's what you do when you've got an economy that's growing so well that inflation becomes an issue! You'll note that wasn't an issue under Barack Obama's two terms! The Fed kept interest rates at near zero for the longest time in US history just to keep Barry's economies afloat. Any time they even hinted at raises the stock market would crater. Contrast that with what Trump has done...continuing to create jobs and grow the economy despite the Fed raising rates more often than any time in US history!

So why would any rational person want to put progressives back in charge of our economy, Gnat? They don't have a clue when it comes to economics.

Hows our debt looking nowadays?

Our debt sucks. My hope is that Trump addresses spending by the Federal Government in his second term. He's just enough of an outsider that he won't care about the entrenched Federal workers sponging off the public anymore. I'd love to see him treat the Federal Government like a business.

Since when has a republican ever reduced our debt ?

The last President to reduce our debt WAS a Republican, Dwight Eisenhower.

We you going to lie that Clinton reduced the DEBT?

Eisenhower added 23 billion, a 9% increase.

Calvin Coolidge was the last to subtract from it. he was also the last fiscal Conservative we have had as POTUS

[nat4900]

The only argument Dems have with each other is who could out-communist the other. They work in unison. They march to the same drumbeat. And I defy you to find me one issue of theirs that didn't directly or indirectly benefit themselves or their party.

First, there is NOTHING wrong for democrats to push an issue that benefits their party AND benefits republicans ALSO.

Second, the fucking moronic statement that democrats are trying to "out-communist" each other, I offer these UNDENIABLE facts.....NOT stupid rhetoric (unless you believe that a great economy is "communist"....like Trump's kissing-buddy, Putin......LOL)

The Economy Does Better Under The Democrats - Forbes

Economists Agree: Democratic Presidents are Better at Making Us ...

Dems Are Better for the Economy. Why Won't They Say So?

 

[nat4900]

Bottom line to my O/P is this......

Working 2 or 3 jobs to support one's family may take you off the unemployed roster, BUT it does NOT mean that a "booming economy" is benefiting EVERYONE.....

Trump borrowed almost $2 TRILLION to finance his tax scam.....and 86% of that money went to PERMANENTLY lower the tax burden of himself and his rich friends.

 

[kyzr]

Referencing old democrat talking points about the economy doesn't really prove anything. Remember when Trump was supposed to destroy the US economy, and that was before his trade wars. The voters will decide in 2020 who they trust to manage the US economy, Trump or the socialist mob.

Remember When Trump Was Supposed To Sink The Stock Market?
